That's not how it works. The envelope part of a template isn't mysteriously
hidden. Word uses styles to locate the envelope address and return address.
By default the settings are taken from normal.dot. If you are using a
letterhead template you can override the settings fom normal.dot by
modifying the two paragraph styles in the document template. The linked page
http://www.gmayor.com/changing_envelope_layout.htm explains how to do that.
The logo is probably placed using an autotext entry. You will probably have
to modify that entry to move the graphic. This is covered at

I'll try this again. I think I wasn't clear enough.
I simply need to modify a dot template that someone else created. He
passed away several years ago. I cannot contact him for help as I'm
not a medium (LOL). I'm not very familiar with this side of MS Word.
This dot file (called ssforms.dot) is stored in each users "Documents
and Settings\user\ApplicationData\Microsoft\Word\Sta rtup" folder.
I'm not changing normal.dot (in which lots of other autotext was set
up). All I'd like to do is to remove a few blank lines that are above
a logo in the return address and ideally change the envelope margins.
That's it. I figured I can open up (not create a new doc from the
template) the dot file, show the envelope, edit it, somehow hide the
envelope and then save and close the dot file. I need some clear
instructions on how this can be done. Any specific help would be much
appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith

I've already been through
http://www.gmayor.com/changing_envelope_layout.htm
and it was helpful but it's not giving me what I need.
I have an existing dot (note, "dot" not "doc") file for a client
that a previous programmer set up. It has a logo and return
address in the envelope template. I need to adjust the margins of
the envelope and move the logo up and over. I can do all that
without any problem. I go to Tools- Letters & Mailings - Envelopes
& Labels and then click the "Add to Document" button and make the
appropriate changes. How do I hide the envelpe from the template
once I've updated its layout? I don't want it to appear each time
the template is used to create a document.
Thanks,
Keith
