In addition to Jay's comments, you may find
http://www.gmayor.com/Alternative_Return_Addresses.htm provides some useful
background - and personally for this job I would create an envelope template
with the graphics places exactly as you want them (like the airmail example
referred to on my web site) and forget the envelope wizard.

OK, MVPs, here's my challenge for you...

I'm doing some work for a woman who can be very inflexible about what
she wants. What she wants now is for the envelopes she prints on MS
Word 2003 (PC) to look like the envelopes she used to print on her
Mac.

On the Mac, she had a template set up and she manually filled it out.
I'd like to set-up the Envelope wizard to automatically address the
properly formatted envelopes for her when she types a letter, though.

Here's the issue: Her return address uses her logo and runs along the
lefthand side of the envelope, rather than in the upper left corner.
I know how to create a graphic with the logo and save it to
EnvelopeExtra1, and it comes up just fine and in the correct
position. The problem is since it uses the entire left side of the
envelope from top to bottom, it pushes the outgoing address to the
next page. If I use "add to document" for the envelope, the result is
two envelopes before the document: one with only the return address
and one with only the outgoing address.

How do I get both the envelope return and the envelope address to
stay on one page?

I know I'm going to have to tweak styles, which is fine, I just
haven't been able to figure out what tweak I need specifically. Which
brings me to question number two...

Is there any way to download the Word-provided default styles? In my
attempts to solve this problem, I seem to have corrupted the frames
of the "Envelope Address" and "Envelope Return" styles.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
