Default PRINTING ENVELOPES ?

I'll confirm that too. If the printer doesn't accept the size because it
isn't in its own 'list', it will change to the nearest size.

So as Graham has already suggested, use the next size up as listed
'standard' by the printer driver and adjust page margins to produce the
desired results. Save it as a template.

I wouldn't rely too much on that link. Word is poor with custom paper
sizes. It gets the page sizes from the printer driver. Custom sizes will
usually adapt to the nearest defined size. Some drivers will allow you to
define paper sizes. Others won't.

OK, custom page sizes for envelopes:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...CH060832671033

there's a tab on this page that says: "select an envelope size"

click on that link

a drop down list shows up and there is notes on setting "custom
envelope sizes"

This is where you need to be.

Measure your envelope with a ruler, enter the dimensions where
instructed.

This should do the trick.


I still Can Not Get the Margins set for an INVITATION Size ENVELOPE?
I have Read What That Website Has But No luck. WHY?

your printer margins on an envelope may be larger than the
default envelope setting in Word. You can overide some of
these under options in the envelope dialog box or you can click
"add envelope to document" and make margin changes as
neccessary. --
