Default Envelope Options

Thank you Graham. Really impressive stuff there on those pages.
Regrettably, none fit my need.

This is official government communication which are being sent in these Size
10 envelopes which require 4 address lines. Graphics are not required and
probably would not appreciated since this is a law enforcement agency. (Many
guys and gals wearing badges and a firearm. Much material is being delivered
to lawyers who are going to grand jury or trial.)

Is there a template editor I can use to create a template? What kind of
code would I write to produce a template to produce a Size 10 envelope with a
4 line delivery address placed where I need it to be?

like.

When addressing Size 10 envelopes, we find the Auto placement from
the top of the delivery address is not often where we like it for
recipients whose address contains 4 or more lines. (It runs off the
bottom or intrudes into the bar code our postal carrier imprints.)
We know how to change it, but this is a one time occurance. If we
are going to send multiple 4 line addressed envelopes, we must make
the setting for each individual envelope before printing.

I think I know the answer here, but I would like someone who knows to
confirm my fuzzy thinking.

I think the answer is to create a custom envelope with the placement
of print where I need it to be. Then save the custom envelope as a
custom envelope. (Would like to be able to name this or create more
than one custom envelope for something more than just Size 10
envelopes.) I would have my secretary use this custom template for
addressing the recipients whose addressess are 4 lines in length. Am
I correct?

Last question, Is it possible to create more than one custom envelope
and name/label them in the Envelope Options drop down choice list?
