![]() When one needs control of almost everything in a document get Word Perfect or something other than LO or OO. I assume this because a US letter size paper can easily be made a default document size. I’ve been to this rodeo before all one does is waste time and envelope stock trying to work out that which appears to be fairly straightforward. The addressee information was so low that it was almost off the envelope and it was indented about 5.25"/1325mm from the left edge of the envelope. 75"/22mm from the left edge (as we look at it). The first line of the return address was 1.5"/3cm from the top and inset. So today I attempted to create an envelope and up came some BS format that sure isn’t a #10 envelope. The addresses looked right when coming from my little LaserJet. I had a #10 envelope worked out a few weeks ago. ![]() But in my experience with many iterations of LO and OO, it doesn’t. Believe it or not the program purports to recognize a #10 envelope. When it comes to envelopes, all I have ever wanted to do is print a damn #10 envelope. But I get no respect when it comes to envelopes. I even kicked a few bucks to Libre Office. I’m using LO 4.2.6.3 (with Windows 7 pro) because I want to use open source software. System: Mac Pro tower (model designation 3,1) running Mac OS 10.6.8, with gobs of RAM I would be most grateful for instructions or work-arounds for printing envelopes … and regular 8.5" x 11" sheets too, for that matter! Problems with this function always drive me back to MicroSuck to get work done. In my experience with all OpenSource versions of Writer-OpenOffice, StarOffice, and now LibreOffice, printing a #10 business size envelope has been difficult or impossible. Since the flap is not a straight side the envelope does not feed straight and the address text is slanted a few degrees, so envelopes printed in this program are unsuitable for business or professional use. So far the only way I am able to print such an ‘envelope’ is widen the envelope feed guides on my HP Laserjet 1022 printer and print the envelope with the flap opened. ![]() As we all know, a #10 envelope should be slightly over 4" high. The ‘Header’ command in the Insert menu does not remove the header or alter the total document size. Last edited by clevertomato March 3rd, 2011 at 12:15 AM.My new copy of Libre Office 3.6 creates business size envelopes that have a two-inch top header by default, resulting in a 6" total document height when it comes time to print. That's not what I call a solution though. is by exporting envelope from OO to PDF, then open in PDF software which DOES let me change printer settings, paper size to number 10 envelope. I've spent hours on this and the only pathetic way I've come up with getting one to print.sort of good enough. What gives? Does anyone have any insight? I'm running OpenOffice 3.2.0 and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid). It only lists "letter, legal, executive, A4"-no envelopes and no ability to define custom size. I suspect it has a lot to do with the fact that from OO my paper size choices are more limited than they should be for this printer. However, with envelopes, OO presents the WYSIWYG as fine, but the print is all messed up, text direction going 180 degrees wrong way, messed up vertically and horizontally. I have a Dell Laser 1720, using the Generic PCL 6 driver "ok'd" by Dell with this printer, and the printer works for normal prints. I hear OO on Windows is decent with envelopes, but I have no experience with that. They took 20 seconds to setup and they printed flawlessly. The posts dealing with envelope printing are old AND essentially unsolved.ĭoesn't anyone need to print envelopes from Ubuntu? When I was using another OS with another word processor, envelopes were as easy as burping. ![]() I have searched the web and the OpenOffice forum for answers to this and have come up empty-handed.
