Default How use mail merge with envelopes?

OK, the reason I was getting a blank page was because each envelope had a
(hidden) frame or text box where the recipients name and address was
supposed to go (I think). Is this true? If so, the name and address began
in the MIDDLE of the text box, not at the left hand side. I don't think
this makes sense. Could somebody explain this to me please? Thanks...

Several times a year I address envelopes with a database I've created.
However, I've never figured out how to use the mail merge correctly. I
always end up with one envelope (on the monitor) with an address - then
one blank, then one with the second address, then one blank, etc. Could
someone tell me what I'm doing wrong - the tell me how to do it right so
that I can put about 10 envelopes in my printer at a time instead of one
by one. The way it works for me is: I have to place the cursor on an
envelope (on the monitor) with an address - then print the 'selected
page.' Then, I have to skip the blank envelope and go to the next one
(with an address) and print the same way again. Can someone help?
Thank...........
