How can I change the defaults for an envelope and keep them?
When I print #10 envelopes in the new version of Word,I have to change the
default for the "from top" delivery address from auto to 1.8. I do this every time I print an envelope. What I'm wondering is, can I set that default from "auto" to the 1.8 and keep it so it will be there every time? Thanks for any help anyone can give. J.Bennett |

To do this you'll have to modify the Envelope Address style, which uses a
frame for positioning. See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html for general instructions. In the Modify Style dialog, click Format and choose Frame, then set the position of the frame as desired. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you for your help, but unfortunately I'm using Office 2007 - any
suggestions? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: To do this you'll have to modify the Envelope Address style, which uses a frame for positioning.

As I said, Shauna's article explains the general principles. You do this
just about the same in Word 2007. Open the Styles window, choose Manage Styles, select Envelope Address and proceed from there. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne I finally was able to do as you stated, now how do I save it? I went
though all the steps and finally found the frame to change the height of the wording, but cannot find a way to save it. I have to be in a word document to get into the Delivery Address frame, but again no where to save it back to Delivery Address frame, it will only ask, when you're done, if you want to save changes to document XXX.

I think you missed that you have to modify the frame in the Envelope Address
style, not just in a document. When you modify the style, choose the radio button for "New documents based on this template." Assuming the template in question is Normal.dotm, that will cover envelopes created thereafter. Again, here are the steps: 1. On the Home tab of the Ribbon, click the arrow below Change Styles in the Styles group to open the Styles window/pane. 2. At the bottom of that window, mouse over the buttons till you find the one that shows the ScreenTip "Manage Styles" and click on it. 3. On the Edit tab, choose the sort order to Alphabetical and scroll down (or up) to Envelope Address. 4. Select Envelope Address and click Modify... 5. In the Modify Style dialog, click the Format button in the lower left corner. 6. Choose Frame. 7. In the Frame dialog, change the vertical position (and size) as desired. Note that by default the frame is formatted as Bottom relative to Margin. If you want to leave it there (a good idea) and move it lower, then you need to reduce the height. 8. After making the desired modifications, OK out of the Frame dialog, choose the "New documents based on this template" button, and OK out. If it's actually the Envelope Return style you want to modify, then you can use Format | Paragraph to add some Space Before. You can't make it any closer to the top without changing the envelope margins, which are set by Word at 0.25" top and 0.5" left (you can override the left margin by giving the Envelope Return style a negative left indent), but I doubt that your printer can print much closer to the top than that, anyway. -- Suzanne S.
