Thank you David! I'll try that.

Is there a place to request features.There is a really cool one from
WordPerfect. Where you can see the "code" behind what you are doing. Think
of it as using a wysiwyg html editor and then being able to see and edit the
source code.

Wordperfect is the only word processing program I have ever seen that.

Also, one other question for you. I inadvertantly deleted some of the
templeates that came with kWord. (I love this program!) Do you know where I
can get the original set of templates. I searched and did not find anywhere
they are available for download.

If you don't have the time to answer I understand. But I hope you do.

Sincerely,
Allen

 Yes, Qt has bad support for custom page sizes, which is always giving us \
trouble with envelopes. (or even no support, in qt3) Even in Qt4 it&#39;s \
not supported yet - at least not via public API (I recently found ways to use \
custom page sizes by setting some cups-related properties in the QPrintEngine \
though, then it works). For your problem, I think you might have more chances \
by creating a normal A4 or Letter document, and creating a text frame at the \
location where the envelope would be if it was aligned with the top-left corner \
of the A4 or Letter page. -- David Faure, <a \
