Printing Envelopes - It Should Be Easy

I have never found envelope printing software worth using. Usually they don't even work. Microsoft Word is still the champion with envelope printing, spit, spit. But who wants to open that up and click, click, reset font, each time you want to print one simple envelope. The poor man's option is using Word to print one envelope to pdf. Then open it with PDF-XChange Viewer and white out the "to" address. Use the typewriter tool, set up the font you want for "to" and set default. Now use PDF-xchange to print that quick envelope from the template. Yes, you have to guess the appropriate location for the to address but not a big deal. I love PDF-XChange Viewer. It has so much more functionality than Nitro. I still need Nitro for its "signature" function. Otherwise I have to print, sign, scan, send. Actually PDF-XChange can handle signatures in .png but not a nicely.

PCMech has instructions for Libre envelope printing, lots of steps.
