Default Open Office and envelopes


Using OO 2. When I try to print an envelope, OO truncates the first
character on each line of my return address. Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!

Jeff;

If you don't get a response here, I recommend you try:

I have had good luck with www.oooforum.org. They are very helpful and
knowledgeable.

Thanks to you and Craig. I've registered with oooforum, and home to
find an answer there. Looks like there are lots of good people there.

Pax.

You could try moving the text box slightly or revise the margins set
by your printer.

Simply insert a space as the first character of each line.

Works for me.

Tried both, but neither worked.

I experimented with plain paper until I found the correct location for
the direction and location of the envelope. OO.o gives you six
different formats for placement, one, at least, will work correctly,
I'm sure.
