I have to manually feed envelopes to my printer -- Brother HL-5140.

I created an €œWord-document-envelope€� template by opening a blank Word
document and then formatted it as an envelope template by positioning the
From Address and To Address fields on the page as they would appear on an
envelope, depending on the size of the envelope. With this
€œWord-document-envelope€� template, when I place envelopes (instead of papers)
in the printer tray, the envelopes are printed automatically.

How do I create a macro this €œWord-document-envelope€� template, such that I
would be prompted to enter the dimensions of the envelope, when the macro is
run? Current I have to manually manipulate the positions of the From
Address and To Address fields when I change the envelope size. Id like
to automate this task.

Thanks in advance for your response.

Incidentally, previously I accidentally post this question in the General
Questions for Office section.

Hi ?B?WXRlc3R0?=,

Which version of Word is this? I see only "2" in the subject line, and I'm having
trouble believing anyone is still working with that 15 year-old version...

Regardless of Word version, I would find it more satisfactory just to create
a template for each frequently used envelope size (which is what I've done).

Thanks for your response, Suzanne. I just thought that someone might have
created a macro to readily change the size of the envelope.

Word's envelope wizard would do that, so there is really no point
re-inventing the wheel. http://www.gmayor.com/changing_envelope_layout.htm
If you are using multiple envelope sizes then a series of templates as
Suzanne suggested is the better approach. To get you started, download the
#10 samples from my web site.
