Moving recipient address LEFT and UP in Envelope Templates

When using any of the envelope templates, the recipients address always prints out too far to the right of the envelope and too low and it just looks wrong.

I do have the correct size envelope, I have just got a tape measure out to check them

I can highlight all the relevant text and drag the tab, but only to the right, it won't drag to the left.

I would also like to move the text up a line or two, but I can't seem to do this either.

For now I have just created my own envelope template, but I really would like to know what is locking these items in the templates. Other posts regarding templates in page layout documents mention a feint cross that shows items are locked, but these are WP documents and I can see anything similar here.

Thanks

Ah ok, thanks
I was still thinking along the Word way of thinking. I had invisibles showing, and was looking for tabs and margins to show there.

Specific template I am looking at now is the Classic envelope template with the DL envelope type. What you suggest does not actually move just the address box.
When clicking within the Recipient text box, I can't see me to select anything except the text itself. The left margin within Inspector is showing 0.8cm and changing this moves everything, including the return address in the header.
Cant seem to select the text box, to move it independently

I have just closed pages, and started again from fresh, following your instructions to the letter
New From Template Chooser:
classic envelope template

Both Background Objects Selectable
and
Master Objects Selectable
are selected

Clicking anywhere in the document, Inside or outside the Address text box or on the lines, just gives the mouse typing cursor, and all you can select is the text. You cant select the surrounding box, and Inspector box Document Document Margins Left, consistantly shows 0.8cm.
Must still be something else to check to allow it to be selected.

Adjusting the TOP works correctly but no ht e left margin of the address box
