Default Envelopes printing upside-down

Sometimes Word makes changes behind your back just to keep you on your toes.
At least that's what it's easy to think. In reality, often a Word add-in
will change settings irrelevant to its actual purpose.

Well, it seems that would be a good solution, but I'm wondering why it
changed...

You might also check in Tools | Letters and Mailings | Envelopes and

Labels
| Envelope Options | Printing Options to see how Word thinks you're
inserting the envelope. It might be a simple matter of changing this.

Interestingly, the feed position shown for labels in my version of Word

2003
is not what I actually use (or that my printer requires), but then I

don't
print envelopes from the Envelopes dialog, either.

When I'm printing to an envelope, it always prints upside-down. Other

PCs
I've tried work fine with this printer. Any ideas?

It's true that Word sometimes seems to be infested with gremlins, especially
in the envelope orientation area. Sometimes you just have to force it it
obey, which is the subject of Graham Mayor's page at
http://www.gmayor.com/epson_envelope_orientation.htm (but the mayhem isn't
particularly limited to Epson printers).
