Re: [libreoffice-users] Printing 7' x 5" envelopes?

Thank you for bringing up this topic.  Using WordStar/DOS, I have been 
printing custom envelopes for my company for years.  About a year or 2 
ago, when I was unable to print envelopes with LO, the response from 
this list was that LO is designed to print one (1) envelope along with a 
letter you might be sending, not to print 50 "Contract Return Envelopes" 
(#10), "Billing Return Envelopes", #6 3/4, etc.  One more reason to 
continue using WordStar/DOS.
