I'm beginning to understand now. The text boxes are floating in the wrong
places - but most mysteriously, I cannot see an anchor anywhere. You could
try right-clicking on the edge of each text box and then use the position
settings all set reference to the Page. However, this is totally the wrong
way to set about this.
The Word way is to go to Tools, Envelopes and Labels, select the Envelope
tab, select the correct envelope size and Add to Document. Note that the
envelopes displayed are limited solely to those supported by your printer
driver. If 10 x 4 is not an option, select the closest envelope larger than
the 10 x 4 and Add To Document. Then go to page setup and adjust the margins
to compensate for the oversize. Once it is correct, you can save it as a
template for reuse
However, that said, I hate the wizard and prefer to create my own templates
for the envelopes that I use regularly. My colleague, Graham Mayor, has an
excellent guide in how to change the envelope layouts and several envelope
templates that you can download.

OK, I take it you mean the Show/Hide command. Here's another shot. As I
said, the table is
removed. The principal issue is why the dashed lines indicating the
borders don't coincide
with the 4 tick marks.
