envelope help
Jay Freedman,
Please refer to a post dated 2-21-2006. In the entry for 2-27-2006 8:04a.m. you stated the following, "Getting two envelopes might be a little trickier. The problem is that the macro now acts as if you pressed the Add to Document button in the Envelopes dialog, and then prints the envelope along with the rest of the document. But Word allows only one envelope at a time to be attached to a document; if you try to hand it another envelope, it will replace the one that's already there. But if the return envelope always has the same address, then that can be a separate and unchanging document stored in a file on your disk; the macro can just open it, print it, and close it before or after dealing with the main document." I am having trouble getting the envelope to print properly. The envelope has the addresses on it, but they are printed on the envelope in a vertical orientation as opposed to the correct horizontal position. I have tried resetting the page attributes for this document, etc. Do I need to save the document as a template instead of a Word document? Thanks mojr |

envelope help
Hi MoJR,
I have no idea what the problem is, but I strongly doubt that saving it as a template would have any effect. With some exceptions, a template is just a document that's used to make more documents -- it doesn't behave any differently with respect to orientation. Look at Graham's envelope templates at http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm#AirmailTemplate. Comparing them to your document may show you what you need to do; or you may choose just to put your address on one of his envelopes and save it. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
