Actually, OO allows address books to be added as data sources. It is 
then fairly easy to get addresses on the envelopes. Once you have added 
the address book as a data source, go to insert> envelopes. The dialog 
box which opens up gives you the option of selecting a data source, and 
specifying which fields go on the envelope.
