Description Dave Koelmeyer 2016-02-26 03:02:13 UTC
Hello,

This enhancement has been raised arising from a corporate migration. Microsoft Word 2003 and 2007 at least have a shortcut feature for adding addressee information to an envelope:

1) Open a new Word document, compose a letter with addressee information at the top

2) Position the mouse cursor before the first character in the addressee block

3) Go to "Mailings -> Envelopes" on the (MS Word 2007) ribbon, and note that the envelope addressee box has automatically been populated.

This is demonstrated for example in the video within the first few paragraphs at http://legalofficeguru.com/printing-envelopes/


In Writer one has to perform a copy and paste for one-off letter addressee information. Although minor, cumulatively this feature would save time and would be a handy shortcut to implement.

The corporation could hire some certified developer to implement it: https://www.documentfoundation.org/gethelp/developers/

Hello Dave Koelmeyer,
Has this option been valued since the issue was reported?

No—although this client won't be proceeding with funded development, it's still a potentially useful (albeit minor) feature to have.
