It is correct that the Envelope Address style does include a Frame into
which it is intended that the address be inserted and that the frame is
offset from the left and top of the letter so that the address will appear
in the usual position on the envelope.

If you did not insert the merge fields into that frame, but rather placed
them elsewhere on the envelope and forced them into the position of the
frame, then it is quite likely that you displaced the frame causing it to be
located off the edge of the envelope and that is what was causing the
problem.

If you had taken the advice that Graham Mayor first gave you, you would have
almost certainly avoided this problem.

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...........
