I use the Free Program LibreOffice Writer.

I need help with doing just one thing.

Before I get into it does anybody use about this Program?

 

Yes, I have been using it for about 15 years.

 

I have been using the LibreOffice Suite but not the Writer itself.

 

Same here, No problems with Libre Office.

 

+1.
So, now tell us what is this 'one thing'?

 

"Can I ask you a question?"

"You just did."

 

I want to print just 6. or so Envelopes one after the next with difer Addresses on them.

I do not want to get into making a Data Bass.

So I go to Insert then Envelopes and the window opens.

I fill out my Address then the Person it will go to and under Format I pick Number 10 Envelope.

Then I click New Document and it brings me back to my page and all looks good.

So I go to the top of this page and click it to put my Cursor.

Then I pick Insert Page Break because I need a new Page.

Now I go back to Insert Envelope and the same window opens.

Now I replace the old Address with the new one and this time I click Insert and it works.

It brings me back to the page now I have one Envelope after another with 2. Different Addresses on them.

Now if I do the same thing and go to Insert Envelope the window opens and I can put the new Address in but at the Bottom it just has Modify?

I do not want to Modify it I think I am doing the whole thing wrong.

Can somebody help I am so close thank you?

 

I way I do it, I print on labels and then peel off and stick the labels on the envelopes.

 

Can you think of each envelope as a separate document. Will the paper tray on your printer accommodate envelopes?
On my version there is an envelope wizard accessible from the main menu as

Insert | Envelope..

This just the thing for printing envelopes one at a time without having to retype the return address.



Here is the Envelope Tab


Here is the Format Tab



Here is the Printer Tab



Each envelope looks like it can be created and saved as a separate document.

 

My Printer can take Envelopes.

I use to get the Avery Address Template and open it in LibreOffice Writer .

I would go down the page and type every bodies Address in the Label.

It would look good on Screen but if I print them out the Addresses would never be all the way on the Label.

Can what I want to do just for one Envelope?

It seems like you should be able to do one envelope at a time and save each envelope as a separate file if you want. You still have to experiment to get the text on the envelope in the right place. The printer tray on my printer will actually accept #10 envelopes but I haven't tried printing on an envelope yet.

 

My Printer does take Envelopes.

I was telling how if I get the Avery Lable Templates and type right on the Labels when I print the labels out the Address do not always fit on the Label.

If you look at the Label on screen it looks like the whole Address is on the Label.

Getting back to using LibreOffice to print on Envelopes.

I go to Insert then Envelope and fill in the Address and pick Number 10 Envelope then click New Document and all looks good.

So right now just one Envelope is showing on screen with all the right Information on it.

If I want to ad another Envelope under this one am I not right I have to make a Page Break to have a Clean Page to start it over with?

Just tell me this first?

Thanks

 

I think you have to use the New Document button

You fancy yourself as the monarch in charge?!

 

Libre calc has the format for sorting merging printing and tricky stuff for lists whereas writer is focused on the many formats.
The team that maintains libre writer continued to develop it further compared to open office build.
Not sure about envelopes, the chart below shows which features they wanted to incorporate.
Libre office runs on windows. The later versions accept VBA interacts with writer as a script such as an envelope script.
