Default How to keep my name/address OUT of the return address box?

Thank you, I actually tired that yesterday after PJY's suggestion, when I
started digging into the help topic's index. When I first tried Tools
Options User Information Mailing Address, and deleting it from the box,
my address was removed from the Return Address Field of Envelopes and
Mailing. I was happy that I figured it out, but, as an experiment, I later
closed out of Word, then reopened it only to find it had re-appeared again.
I told my co-worker that it had to be the "ghost" in the hotel! Today, after
reading your suggestion, I opened Word and a new document (with no type) and
so far, so good, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you, I'll try that then. I'm glad it's not just me. It
happened when I free formed in the address field of the return
address box. My company has pre-printed, letterhead envelopes with
the return address, so I never had to type in our address. The day
that I wanted to send something personal on a plain envelope, that's
the day that it decided to never leave once I typed in my home
addresss. It's so annoying!

Sorry, we changed it to hidden

Maybe I'l rather have my company's name and address to stay there,
so when I uncheck the omit box, remove mine and enter my company's,
it never stays. I'll close out of Word, and mine's back the very
next time! I've asked other co-workers, and they can't figure it
out either.
