I'm using Pages to print envelopes and the destination address is too far to the right. If I select Show Ruler, I cannot move the left margin marker to the left. I tried Show Layout, but cannot drag the text box to the left either. Does Pages allow you to customize the layout of the destination address? Suggestions welcome. Thank you.

The solution today is the same as it was in the 2015 and 2017 examples linked in your second post above: Pik whichever template you want to use as a model, then make your own, starting with a Blank page layout template.
In the File menu, go to Page setup ad set the page to Number 10 envelope (or to the size of envelope you will be using) and the orientation to Landscape (long edges at top and bottom)
Insert two Text boxes, If you will be the sender for most of the envelopes to be printed, use your own name and address in the Return Address space.
Enter placeholder text in the box for the deliver to address, and format each line as you want it, following the specifications of your postal service.
Do a test print of the template and make any needed adjustments, then, when you have a satisfactory result, Save the document as a Template with a suitable name. After saving, the template will be found in the My Templates section of the Template Chooser.

I looked into this further and it appears that a number of Pages templates have bugs preventing you from moving margins to the left or right. In the envelope template, since you can't move the margin to the left, addresses go too far to the right.
The attached screenshot is from one of the Envelope templates. Note the marker set just to the left of 5" on the ruler. If you try to drag this to the left (so that the destination address can be moved to the left), it stays stuck.
Here are other examples I found:
