If you use an envelope template (there are samples for download from my web
site) you can use the method shown at
http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm to print to the current document
(the envelope) to the specific printer.
If you use the label wizard you must set the active printer (as suggested by
JoAnn) in the print dialog before you print. You can do this with a macro,
but it is all too easy to forget which printer is active - whereas the
suggested method always returns focus to the default printer.

Thanks JoAnn,

That isnt the answer though - the output still goes to the printer
that was last used.

I am trying to set up so that an old printer can be stacked up with
envelopes, and that I can easily direct envelope addresses to that
printer. So far no luck!

Cheers

Have you tried setting that printer as the default before you start
the envelope?

Can someone please help

I using microsoft word 2002.

When I use ToolsLetters & Mailings Envelopes and Labels, I want
to direct
the output to a specific printer. That menu option always sends to
the last
printer used.

Thanks
