I was doing that, changing the address on my envelope template, until I realized I could make as many templates as I wanted to to match the people I mail. So, I have one for my Aunt Nettie, one for Aunt Janice, etc., for all the people I mail. That way I just load the envelope template into OpenOffice for that person I am writing and click "print". No editing of addresses required. Thanks for stopping by. Terry Hey, Mike. I was doing that, changing the address on my envelope template, until I realized

It takes envelopes on the right side with the flap up. I found, as you did, that you have to load envelopes the opposite orientation of what is shown on the printer. I created an envelope document. I started a normal document and went into Format/Page settings and set the size of the document to a #10 envelope, landscape orientation, and margins of Left: .64 Right: .5 Top: .25 Bottom: .25. I had to experiment with the location of the addressee. I saved the document as Envelope, and now when I want to print an envelope I just open this document and change the addressee.
