[DM-MUG] Envelopes!!!

[Holly Welch]

Thanks, Matthew. I really prefer Appleworks, and avoid Work like the  
plague. I do have Pages, so Maybe I need to see about envelopes  
there. I have to say that if the DM Schools had supported my Apple  
computers, I wouldn't have learned so much!!!!

Thanks!
Holly
