Hi.
I have just done similar. I have LO 3.4.1.
Create a new calc document and put your addresses in rows, with a title 
in row 1.
I.e.

Name  | Address1 | Address2 | Address3 |
Bob   | 6 A Road | A Town   | A City   |



Create a new writer document.
Try
Format>Page
Select the envelope size from the drop down. Position the cursor where 
you want the address, i.e. by tabbing.
Now
Insert>Fields>Other
Click Database top right, Mail merge fields on the left.
Click browse to the right of Add Database file.
Locate the calc file with the addresses. It should now appear in the 
right pane under Database selection.
Expand the database you just added by clicking the arrows (triangles) 
until you see the address fields (column labels), select the field you 
want and click insert. Tab on the next line to the next address 
position, select the field and insert.

You can highlight the fields (place holders) on the envelope and change 
font and size.

When you click print you are asked if you want to print a form letter, 
answer yes, and you will be prompted to print all addresses or select 
the row range.

Hope this helps, steve
