Envelope Feature

Post by allenanna41 »

I switched from Windows XP to OpenOffice and am having trouble - even after following directions and wasting a box full of legal-size envelopes, to get the envelope to print correctly. Can you help, please?

Hi

A couple of links to documentation
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wik ... _envelopes
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wik ... envelopes2

Also a link to the many questions about envelope printing on the OOoForum.org site
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic ... e+printing
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic ... e+printing

Finally you may want to visit the other forum
http://www.oooforum.org and search on 'Envelope Printing' you will find many entries.

Tri-fold a piece of paper to envelope width and test on that. You can use the reverse side of each page too, so you'll double the number of tests per item. This way you're not printing on actual envelopes until you know you've got the layout right, so you save a little money that way.
Cheers!
