As long as we're this far off topic already, I'll venture a question as well. I needed to print an envelope yesterday for the first time with OpenOffice Writer, and I wasted about ten envelopes before I got one that's acceptable (although it still really needs the addresses moved over a bit).
Ouch.
What I do is test with plain paper. If need be, I cut it to size with scissors. I have been burned your way before with every single word processing program I tried since Wordstar in the eighties.
And after I got plain paper "faked envelopes" working, the real one failed in unexpected ways, like the... what do you call it... the part of the envelope that does the closing, sticking in the printer and breaking, or the envelope twisting or jamming sideways in the tractor mechanism.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to cross your fingers or touch wood or wear a penguin tee shirt :-P
The simple answer is to just use label stickers. Personally, I like the ones that are in a single column, with a backing that is fan-fold and tractor feed (the little holes on the side for old style printer sprockets to engage and pull the backing material through the printer). Or you can get the more modern ones which have 24-30 labels on a page ... typically 3 columns and 8 to 10 rows. Both variants are made for reliable printing without any twisting or other feeding issues of the printed material. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
