Created attachment 74502 [details] Unedited and Edited .jpgs of the Insert-Envelope dialog's Printer tab Select Insert->Envelope from Writer's main menu. Go the the dialog's Printer tab. Note that on that tab, the 4th thru 6th Envelope orientation icons seem to be incorrect; each of them needs to be flipped horizontally. To show you what I mean, I have attached 2 documents: 1. Envelope Orientation - Unedited.jpg Shows this dialogs's Printer tab, as it is. 2. Envelope Orienation - Edited.jpq Shows this dialog's Printer tab, as it is, except with flipped versions of the 4th through 6th icons shown to the right of the unmodified set of 6 icons.

Edited Summary.
Created attachment 74844 [details] Sample Small Envelope Here is a sample small envelope, which does NOT print properly in LibreOffice Writer. (Note that if I use Lotus Symphony to create a similar one, I can print that OK from within Lotus Symphony.) (Also note that Commercial #10 envelopes do print properly in LibreOffice.)
Here are the steps I used to create the sample small envelope document: Open LibreOffice Writer Menu: Format->Page Format: 6-3/4" (Personal) Envelope {6.50" x 3.63"} Orientation: Landscape Paper tray: Rear Tray Margins: 0.25", 0.25", 0.25", 0.25" <OK> Menu: Insert->Envelope Addressee: "Addressee" Sender: "Sender" <Printer> tab Select 4th icon Print from top Current printer: Canon MX860 series Printer Needed to redo Format->Page Needed to move Sender and Addressee text boxes into position File->Printer Settings: Page size: Custom: 6.50" x 3.63 Orientation: Landscape Media Type: Envelope Paper Source: Rear Tray Needed to reset Orientation in Print dialog

Hi, so the problem is with the icon orientations or printing? Which version of LibreOffice are you using? Thanks - Sophie
(In reply to comment #7) > Hi, so the problem is with the icon orientations or printing? Which version > of LibreOffice are you using? Thanks - Sophie Sophie, There appears to be a problem with the printing. I found a workaround. If I do: Insert->Envelope icon #1. Format->Page 6-3/4 Envelope (6.5" x 3.63")

Thanks - Sophie Sophie, There appears to be a problem with the printing. I found a workaround, though. If I do: Insert->Envelope: Icon #1. Format->Page: 6-3/4 Envelope (6.5" x 3.63"), Landscape Print->Printer Setup: 6.5" x 3.63"), Portrait, Rotate 180 degrees Insert the envelope with the top of the envelope facing the front of the printer. (Instead of with the top of the envelope facing the left of the printer, as with a standard size envelope.) Then this prints OK. Specifying "Landscape" for Format->Page, but "Portrait" for Printer Setup seems rather odd. Maybe it's something unique to our printer (a Canon PIXMA MX860).
@rj is the bug still reproducible with LibO 4.3.2.2? are you still using that Canon printer? have you ever tried a different printer?

Yes, it's still reproducible with LO 4.3.2.2. The Canon's the only printer I tried it with. I tried opening the file in Microsoft Office Starter 2010 (comes free with Windows 7 Home edition, 64-bit), and it gives an error saying that the file is corrupt. However, I am then able (from within MS Office Starter 2010) to save the .odt file as a .docx file and then (from within MS Office Starter 2010) print the envelope fine.

I should have said: However, (from within MS Office Starter 2010) I am able to: 1. Recover the .odt file, and then 2. Either: A. Print the envelope fine from the recovered.odt file. B. Save the recovered .odt file as a .docx file and print the envelope fine from this .odt file. So, since MS Word Starter 2010 can print the envelope fine from within either the recovered .odt file OR the .docx file created from it, it would seem that the problem is with LO's printing rather than with the formatting or the printer driver. Since this recovered file
