It's a poor letter template that blocks the ability to create envelopes
while using it. Furthermore templates should have a DOT extension, be saved
in the User Template (or Workgroup) folder and new documents should be
created from them. This has the makings of a lash-up. I hope the company
didn't pay the staff responsible much for it
If all else fails, you can modify the envelope templates that you can
download from my web site to your requirements and copy/paste the addressee
information from letter to envelope.

Hi, and thanks for your quick response. I realized as soon as I hit
'send' that I'd left out a few important bits...
First, I'm using MS Office 2003.
When I go to 'tools' 'letters and mailings' to print out an envelope,
everything in the dialogue box is 'greyed out' -- inaccessible to me.
Ordinarily, from here I can choose mail merge, envelopes and labels,
or letter wizard, however this template (which has a .doc extension)
won't allow any of the above.
Thanks again,
Cynthia

Hi,
My company recently created our letterhead using a Template
document. When I was unable to print an envelope using Tools -
Letters and Mailings, I contacted the staff who created it and
asked how to print envelopes. Their response was it can't be done.
Can it?
What happened exactly when you tried to print envelopes? "I was
unable to(...)" does not mean much without knowing what happened.
Also, what did you expect that would happen when you tried?
Depending on the nature of the problem, it might be useful to know
what Word version you are using.
