Suzanne,
Thanks for the reply. I'll be spending a lot of time on Cgharles thoughtful
information. In the meantime I'm going with your suggesation to simply
create a document then choose paper type as envelope. Funny, butwhen I tried
thius, the envelope was vertical not horizontal and I did not see where to
change the orientation.
Thank you,
Steve Koenig

FWIW, this is exactly what we (some of us, anyway) are suggesting that you
do. Create an envelope template with the desired return address and use it
(instead of the Envelopes and Labels dialog) to create your envelopes. The
downside to this is that Word's Envelopes dialog for some reason offers a
lot more envelope sizes (at least for my printer) than the Page Setup
dialog, though I suppose you could get around that by using Add to Document
in the Envelopes dialog, then detaching the document from the envelope.

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
