Charles-

Thanks. Exactly what I wanted to do, and it worked beautifully. One thing I
noticed, though: When I reopen the document (now with an envelope attached),
I see the envelope and the scroll bar on the side suggests that the envelope
is the entire document. In other words, there's apparently no room to scroll.
As soon as you click anywhere in the scroll bar, the rest of the document
appears. Strange.

Not a big deal, but a minor annoyance.

Thanks again.

This solution will work where you always want an envelope. Unprotect the
template, create the envelope as an addition to the document, insert the
appropriate REF fields on the envelope, and reprotect it. The envelope will
show up (as section 0) on any documents created from the template.

news
I am creating a series of documents to simplify the work of a business
owner
who is less than computer literate. One such document is a protected
form,
a
cover letter with fields for the name and address, along with four other
pieces of information.

Up until now, any time she typed a letter, this woman either wrote an
envelope by hand or, less frequently, used a separate envelope template.
I
have since modified the envelope wizard on her computer to use her
graphic
return address and have shown her how to use it. This works fine when she
types a letter on her stationery template, but not for forms.

On a protected form, which this does need to be for ease of use and to
keep
her from accidentally corrupting the format, the envelope button (which I
added to her toolbar) and menu options are grayed out. The only way to
create
an envelope is to unprotect the form.

If I attach a blank envelope to the form, is there any way to have the
envelope fields automatically populated with data from the letter? Is
there a
field function or macro I could use which would take the name and address
she
types on the letter and use the same information on the envelope, all
without
any additional steps for her? Alternately, is there a way to make the
envelope wizard available on a locked form?

The solution would need to be a simple one for her to use.

Thanks,

-J.
