Envelope template for libreoffice4/24/2024 I fixed one of the cut lines that wasen't quite straight, grouped all the cut lines so they are harder to accidentally move out of place, and got rid of the solid lines since with the snap lines there they are not really needed and can end up being a bit of a nuisance when you're trying to add cover art. Release Description Compatibility Operating Systems License Release notes 1.2 Some fixes and improvements. Here is a link to a PDF of the blank template with solid lines for folding in case anyone wants to just print out blank CD envelopes.Īnd here is a link to the instructions if needed. After that you'll need to glue the folded flaps together as described and illustrated in the instructions PDF linked below. The template is fairly simple, just cut along the dotted lines, fold on the solid lines / artwork edges. If you just flip them any text they have will be backwards, so they need to be rotated NOT flipped. Also, please note that the top and bottom flap will be folded upside down so you will need to either rotate the images for those 180 degrees beforehand or in the template. If your going to make artwork for the back, the top flap is 2 inches tall, 5 inches wide, and the bottom is 3.21 inches tall and 5 inches wide. The right portion has a properties area where you can select a different size, if need be:įor example, maybe you want to select a standard Envelope #10.When folded and glued its 5 x 5 inches, so the cover art should be 5 x 5.

Green boxes will appear which are “grabber points”. You’ll end up with something that looks like this:įrom here you can adjust fonts and sizes of fields.įor field adjustment size, just click on a field area border. Yes, this will create a second document, but it’s worth it to avoid the blank page crapola. Since we don’t want that blank page, use New Doc. If you don’t do that and click Insert instead, what happens is that Writer will create your new envelope along with a single blank page. But if you encounter problems with sizing, now you know where to change the appropriate settings. Important note: If printing standard sized envelopes, you shouldn’t have to do any of this. What LO does is give the printer control over the paper size instead of handling it directly within the document editor software itself. (Optional)Ī common complaint with the way LO does envelope printing is, “Where can I select the envelope type?” That’s done via the Printer tab on the window you’re still on:Īll the envelope types are there. The Printer tab is where you can set an envelope type if you wish. By default you will start on the Envelope tab. The “Envelope” window pops up, and will have the tabs Envelope, Format and Printer. ![]() ![]() Launch LibreOffice Writer to create a new document.

Thankfully, it’s easier now, but the way it’s done still may confuse a few out there, so here’s how to go about it. In the bad old days it was ridiculously difficult to do because you actually had to create your own envelope template from scratch.
