Printing envelopes in FM 12

I created a FM 11 file to print envelopes to a HP deskjet and it worked very well. I then converted it to FM 12. Now it won't print envelopes!! I set up anew layout for printing envelopes . I first set Print Setup to select the printer, print #10 envelopes, landscape. I then used New layout/report menu to setup a new envelope layout. I have two merge fields. The fields don't even appear in Preview! In fact, the layout looks weird in preview. When I test print to a blank sheet of paper, the name prints on one sheet and the address prints on another!!! I followed the instructions in Help pretty carefully. I'm about ready to give up. What gives????

It might clarify things to show what the layout looks like in preview mode. see the attachment. What I can't figure out is the dotted line. Certainly this is the outline for the envelope. But there doesn't seem to be any way to control it. It was created by FM.

In layout mode, you should also see lines marking the limits of the layout and you should be able to move the fields you want to place them within those limits. What do you see in layout mode?
