Consider the following minimal example with a letter (scrletter) inside a scrartcl:

\documentclass[parskip=half]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[margin=2.5cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{scrletter}

\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\KOMAoptions{backaddress=off,foldmarks=off}


\begin{document}

\date{\today}
\setkomavar{fromname}{From}
\setkomavar{fromaddress}{Strasse XX\\PLZ Ort}
\setkomavar{signature}{Robert}

\setkomavar{subject}{Betreff}

\begin{letter}[fontsize=12pt]{To\\Strasse XX\\PLZ Ort}

\opening{Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren}

Letter page 1

\pagebreak

Letter page 2

\closing{Freundliche Grüsse}
\end{letter}

Test

\end{document}

Two questions:

  • Where do I specify the address layout (like SN, DIN, SNleft, ...)?
  • I now have three different page numberings (first page: none, second page: 'Seite 2', third page: '3'). How can I achieve a consistent page numbering like this: '1', '2', '3'?

    scrletter is deprecated. You should be using scrlttr2. See the KOMAdoc documentation for more details on usage. Not sure if that will solve your problems.

  • @DonHosek Package scrletter is part of the current KOMA-Script bundle. It is not deprecated and can be used with the KOMA-Script classes scrartcl, scrreprt and scrbook. scrlttr2 is a class.

  • The reason I'm using scrletter is because I can use it as an environment inside another class (scrartcl in this case).

    Oops, I was confusing it with scrlettr,

Letter class option DIN is loaded by default. If you want to load an other letter class option use \LoadLetterOption or if you want to load a list of lco files use \LoadLetterOptions. Note that you have to load scrletter before you use \LoadLetterOption or \LoadLetterOptions.

If the output of the page number should be the same in the letter use

\let\letterpagemark\pagemark

Note that the first letter page has a special layout. It uses page style empty. If the page number should be in the footer of the first letter page you can use

\setkomavar{firstfoot}{\centering\pagemark}

Example:

\documentclass[parskip=half]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[margin=2.5cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{scrletter}

\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
%\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}% needed with outdated TeX distributions
\LoadLetterOption{SN}% <- added
\KOMAoptions{backaddress=off,foldmarks=off}
\let\letterpagemark\pagemark% <- added
\setkomavar{firstfoot}{\centering\pagemark}% <- added

\setkomavar{fromname}{From}
\setkomavar{fromaddress}{Strasse XX\\PLZ Ort}
\setkomavar{signature}{Robert}
\setkomavar{subject}{Betreff}

\begin{document}
\begin{letter}[fontsize=12pt]{To\\Strasse XX\\PLZ Ort}
\opening{Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren}
Letter page 1
\clearpage

Letter page 2
\closing{Freundliche Grüsse}
\end{letter}
