[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 51132] After one success, PRINTING of #10 ENVELOPES failed to print properly, apparently due to incorrect formatting of the envelope document by the 'Insert Envelope' wizard.

Problem and Workaround:

I totally gave up on Insert / Envelope.  I found that even trying to define a
user defined size of #10 size and manually entering the right width and height
would cause it to automatically (!) change it from user defined to the built in
#10 incorrect size right before my eyes, with a height of about 16 cm!  So user
defined did not work.  That Insert / Envelope menu item should probably be
removed from Writer.

But I found a simple and effective workaround.

Simply open a usual document, go to Format / Page, and from there change the
Format to #10 envelope.  That works!  The page is correctly defined.

I then selected Insert / Text Box a couple times, and entered the return
address and send address.  Then select the boxes, one by one of course,
right-clicked, and selected Position and Size.  Then changed the rotation angle
to 270 degrees.  Then manually dragged the boxes to where I wanted, top right
and centered respectively.

Then printed.  Works great.  Whew!

One other thing, I put the envelope in the manual feed of my printer of course.
 But if you have the printer properties set to double sided, it got confused
and told me it was a size error.  Not again!  But it wasn't a size error.  I
simple set the document to single sided printing temporarily, and the envelope
printed beautifully.
