Charles,
Thank you for the reply. However, I will say that when you say, " I guess
for those of us who struggled in the early days of word processing and
computers to print an envelope, this seems relatively straight-forward," I
had to laugh. I started word processing on a WANG before IBM launched their
dual disk drive 8088 and did the six diskette shuffle with WordPerfect. Now
that was straightforward from the beginning. Within the reveal code screen
formattng codes could be viewed and changed. If I wanted a fancy return on
an envelope, I simply created it as a document then selected paper type as
envelope.
I appreciate your suggestions to study the various levels of formatting
within Word and have begun this process. In the mean time I am not any
closer to getting a graphic on my envelope.
Thank you for trying to help,
Steve Koenig

Hi,

Sorry, but Word is complex. Some things require more knowledge of its
complexities than do others. I guess for those of us who struggled in the
early days of word processing and computers to print an envelope, this seems
relatively straight-forward.

If you are going to use Word effectively, it is essential that you learn how
styles work. Until you do, you will be struggling uphill and it will feel
like Word is working against you.

Sometimes an answer to a question can lead to a multitude of other
questions.
I think this may be the case here.
First I had to ponder the following:
"To achieve this, create a paragraph style for the return text."
Then I was introduced to "floating" graphics and text as two separate
saved
styles?
The goal is simply to print a graphic on the top left corner of the
envelope
with the return address directly next to the graphic.

Thank you for responding but I am no closer to getting a graphic to print
on
my envelopes.

I would like the full editing capabilities of Word 2003 to prepare
envelopes
including inserting graphics, but when I go to Tools, Letters and
mailings,
then envelopes, I get a small envelope sized area to put in the
information I
want printed on the envelopes. How do I get graphics printed as part
of
the
return address?
Thank you,
Steve Koenig
