Align to Bottom?
I have a mail merge document that prints a Return Address and Recipients
address at the top of the page. These appear in envelope windows after they go through our folding machine and inserter. Our mailroom would like me to print this information at the bottom of the letter. This is difficult because the mail merge creates paragraphs of varying size effective moving the address information out of position. I have been told I can't merge graphics in a footer so that is not an option. I need some how to fix the position of the addresses. Should I use a table? Thanks, Paul Hammond Richmond, VA |

Align to Bottom?
To clarify the issue, is the mailroom saying that the information should be
at the bottom of the letter as well as the top or instead of (they'll be folding the letters differently)? Having it just at the bottom would be very bizarre for a letter, and I'm not sure I see the purpose of having it at the bottom as well as the top. Presumably you could use a text box with position set as Bottom Relative to Margin, but I'd like to know more about the rationale for the change. -- Suzanne S.

Align to Bottom?
The delivery address needs to be at the bottom only. The letter folding
machine works better that way. It doesn't look bad really. To dress it up a little I'm dropping the corporate logo and address at the top(for looks) and the bottom(to show in the return address window). I have been experimenting with a one column two row table. The body of the letter goes in the top row which has a fixed height and the Address stuff goes in the bottom where I have set the cell alignment to Bottom Left. So far, so good. Paul -- "Suzanne S.
