Envelope Fonts in Word 2007
I would like to print envelopes without having to reset the font, style,
size, and color of the return and delivery addresses every time. I am using Word 2007 and cannot seem to find an option to set defaults in the Envelopes/Labels tool. I manually change and save, but it returns to its own default selection afterwards. I would prefer to use different font styles and sizes so I can customize my return address instead of purchasing printed envelopes. |

Envelope Fonts in Word 2007
For this sort of situation, your best bet is to create an envelope template.
In a new Blank Document, start by choosing the appropriate envelope size as your paper size. Set appropriate margins, then select Envelope Return as the style of your first paragraph and Envelope Address for the second. Modify those styles as desired, then save the envelope as a template. You lose some of the functionality of the Envelopes dialog, but what you gain is worth the loss. Note that, for reasons I've never understood, the list of envelope choices in the Envelopes dialog is much longer than that in the Paper Size dropdown in Page Setup, so if your envelope is a size not directly supported by your printer, you may want to use Add to Document to extract an envelope in the desired size from the dialog into a place where you can customize it. For instructions on detaching the resulting envelope from the document, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/DetachEnvelope.htm. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks. Once I save the custom envelope as a Word Template how do I set it up
so that when I create envelopes in Word it uses this template? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: For this sort of situation, your best bet is to create an envelope template.

You can't access it through the Envelopes dialog; you must select the
template in the File New dialog (or current equivalent). -- Suzanne S.
