SoftMaker Office 2021 Standard Edition sells for a one-time price of $79.95 (U.S. dollars). That's a LOT less than Microsoft Office. SoftMaker Office is a "perpetual" license -- buy it once and use it as long as you want. (Unlike Microsoft Office 365, which they are pushing and which is a subscription -- stop paying, and the software stops working).
Free Office has document (page) sizes already set up for several standard envelopes. If the one you need isn't listed, chose one that's close and make adjustments to where you place your text.
Or, see below:
Another possibility is to create a template or a new, standard blank document, with the page size User Defined. I was easily able to format a custom page size for a United States #10 business envelope with a width of 4.13 inches (104.9mm) and a height of 9.5 inches (241.3mm). Set the margins to define either the location of the "TO" address block, or set them to place a return address in the upper left corner and then set a new paragraph style for the main address block to define its location.
If your printer feeds envelopes from the end, then you would want to set this document to landscape mode.
Save the file either as a document or as a template, "My_Blank_Envelope."
This won't automatically copy your "To" address from the document onto the envelope but you can have the return address pre-entered, so all you have to do is open the envelope template, then copy and paste the recipient's address from the letter to the envelope..
