Same address in all frames. Probably not what you want to do here (but a very nifty way to do the Greeting Cards thing people were talking about !). You probably want "On new page creation: Reconnect Frame to current flow". Hmm, maybe this option is incompletely named. It also implicitely means, to actually create a new frame on the next page. > 5) In each subsequent frame create yet another text frame box, into > which you will type the recipients address. Oh, so you actually create a frame onto the copy frame ? Hmm, not very useful to have that copy then ;-) Except for the size maybe, but then the "create a new frame and reconnect it" option does the same, w/o the need for another frame on top of it. About adding envelope templates... if the whole world was using only one size of envelopes we would simply make a .kwt template. But I think we rather need some wizard or so, to take into account the various existing sizes... -- David FAURE, david@mandrakesoft.com, faure@kde.org http://perso.mandrakesoft.com/~david/, http://www.konqueror.org/ KDE, Making The Future of Computing Available Today
