You need to check the add to template button when editing the Envelope
Address style to ensure that the changes are passed to the template, and
then you need to ensure the template is saved. If necessary open the
template directly in Word and make the changes there. Note that if using
more than one template there could be an Envelope Address style in each.

Alternatively you could download the envelope template examples from my web
site which have a wider frame.

I got it to work for one envelope, but I can't seem to save the new
(wider) settings. I've followed the directions on the website 8 or 9
times, but to no avail.

More specifically, I have a Word file with a bunch of addresses. I
want to select each address, then go to Tools Letters and Mailings
Envelopes and Labels. But from there, whether I Print or Change
Document, each time the width comes up as 5.5" rather than the 6.5"
that I changed it to.

Am I doing something wrong? Please help!!

Thanks in advance.

I had the same question; thanks for the helpful answers.
Solving that problem led to another: While all lines of the address
are now printing, they are wrapping around. For instance, instead
of City, State Zip on one line, I'm getting City, State on one line
and Zip on the next line. Is there a way to keep the lines intact,
the way they are in the original (by widening the frame, perhaps)?
Thanks.

Some addresses will not fit on 3 lines on the delivery address on
an envelope. Word shifts a 3 line to 4 lines which only the top of
it is printed. There is plenty of room on the envelope for 3
lines for the size of font.
