Thanks for the great info.


As long as we're this far off topic already, I'll venture a question as
well. I needed to print an envelope yesterday for the first time with
OpenOffice Writer, and I wasted about ten envelopes before I got one
that's acceptable (although it still really needs the addresses moved
over a bit).

With Microsoft Office, envelope printing is based on the printer type,
as specified by the driver that's in use. When I select my LaserJet
1022, for example, or my DeskJet 712C, I don't need to specify each time
all the details of the envelope feed, whether it inserts on the left,
right, or center, or how much offset from the edge is needed. It
already knows those things, because it knows what printer I'm using.

Will I need to manually change and test the spacing and alignment every
time I print an envelope on a particular printer, or will Writer
remember that information for that printer after I've finally gotten it
working right?

If it will remember the configurations, then it's worth getting it right
once for each printer I use. If I need to specify the details every
time I print an envelope, then it would be worth booting that
(dual-boot) machine into XP-Pro whenever I need a word processor.

Thanks in advance for your advice on this,
