It's worth saying that it is more sensible to save your work as a
template than as a document as you have here: then you can lose the
scare quotes around "template"! Go to File | Templates > | Save...
and save your template, probably in My Templates. Your work is saved
as a .ott template instead of a .odt document. When you need to use
it, you can find it via File | New > | Templates and Documents... or
in the drop-down menu from the down-arrow next to the New button in
the Standard toolbar or using the Templates... button on the start screen.
The advantage of this method - designed into OpenOffice - is that
when you invoke the template you are presented with a new, unnamed
document based on that template instead of the template itself. So
you don't need to remember not to save the changes after you have
complete individual document based on the template. We've all made
the mistake of overwriting a previous document unintentionally!
Indeed, you may want to save individual documents you create based on
any template.

For the avoidance of doubt, I'm perfectly happy, of course, that you
should choose to use an awkward and fragile technique. My purpose in
writing was to ensure that your audience were not distracted by this
and knew that there was a convenient and reliable method built in to
the product.

Brian,
We all work a bit differently and I have have a folder on my desktop
with many .odt files that I can double click on that open in
OpenOffice. I then fill in the areas needed, be they for an envelope
or a custom made business letter, etc. and then print. If I need to
save the document, I just give it a file name and a place to live,
otherwise I close the file without saving. I choose not to use the
built-in template feature in OpenOffice, whatever makes you smile!

Shawn,
Attached is a #10 envelope "template" with your name in the Sender box,
just fill in the correct data and save the changes. You can change the
fonts to what ever you like. Leave the addressee blank until needed
then just fill in that info when needed and print, then don't save those
changes and it reverts back to just your sending data and ready for the
next use!

Greetings,
I am not aware of a template as such. I made my own long ago and I don't
remember how I did it. That said, try opening a new document and choose
Insert -> Envelope and under "Size", select "Format" and then select #10
and see if this works for you. If it does, then save it as a template
for your future use. If not, you can fiddle with margins, page size,
etc. to make your own.
