I am unable to alter envelope position/insertion on my printer after the envelope is inserted/created. I have to create a new every time to change how I feed my envelope. Would you please fix this for me? Many thanks,-T
How do you feed your envelope? It looks like the functionality you desire is not currently supported. However, it is not a bug, so there is nothing to "fix".
(In reply to comment #1) > How do you feed your envelope? Okidata B4350. I use the manual feed: Center Feed Landscape. On LO Writer's Insert, Envelope, Printer (tab), "Envelope Orientation", it is the second from the end. > It looks like the functionality you desire is not currently supported. > However, it is not a bug, so there is nothing to "fix". You are correct. I should have asked this to be an enhancement instead of a bug. Would you please change the status to Enhancement Request? Many thanks, -T

Created attachment 88805 [details] what I see envelope orientation
Hi, I am not able to confirm the issue. I followed your steps: 1) start LO Writer 2) insert → envelope 3) printer tab 4) pick the wrong “Envelope Orientation” 5) click “Insert” After step 5, I returned to the document and went to Insert-> Envelope. From there, I was able to change the Envelope Orientation, and click Modify (changed from the name Insert) at the bottom, and the change was made. I attached an image of what I saw. If you can verify that I understood your issue, and that you get the same results, or I am mistaken about your issue, or you do not experience the same results, please let me know either way. ------------- Version: Version: 4.1.3.2 Build ID: 70feb7d99726f064edab4605a8ab840c50ec57a Platform: Ubuntu Linux 13.04 x64
no, no, no. Not create a new envelope. Modify a previously created envelope. This is an "editor". Who wants to reinvent the wheel every time you mess up an envelope? The long, long defunct Word Pro even allows you to modify your envelopes.
When I go to Insert -> Envelope the second time, it's modifying the orientation of the original envelope. I can instantly see the difference on the envelope in the document. It is not creating a new envelope.

I need to be able to edit the envelope position of the first envelope, not create a second envelope.
Still and issue under LibreOffice_4.2.5_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz

Please, feel free to reopen if I am wrong. Best regards. JBF

Please, feel free to reopen if I am wrong. > > Best regards. JBF Hi JBF, That does work. Problem. It is not "intuitive". One does not expect "Insert", meaning "Create a fresh one", to be the mechanism used to modify a "previous" envelope. Please use this bug report to come up with a method to make the process "intuitive". Much appreciated, -T
(In reply to comment #16) > That does work. > > Problem. It is not "intuitive". One does not expect "Insert", meaning > "Create a fresh one", to be the mechanism used to modify a "previous" > envelope. Really not intuitive? I never use envelope in Writer and I found the mean to modify one immediately. For me it is intuitive. > Please use this bug report to come up with a method to make the process > "intuitive". "Make the process intuitive" is not a clear description of your enhancement proposition. What is intuitive for you may not be for others. If you have a clear idea of what could be an intuitive process in this area (create and modify an envelope), please file a new bug report and describe it. Thank you for your understanding. Closing again. Best regards. JBF
