How do I fomat and envelope using mail merge?
I am using Mailmerge to print envelopes using an Outlook contact list.
Everthing goes fine until the screen where you click the location and then select the item that goes there. Even though I click the center of the envelope (and the cursor stays there), when I select Address block it puts the address right under the return address. I just can't get it to stay in the center of the envelope where it belongs. Have I missed a formatting command somewhere? |

Are you sure that you have the selection inside the Frame that holds the
envelope address? -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Doug, thank you but I'm not sure what that means. I am on step 4 of 6 in the
Mail Merge wizard titled "Arrange your envelope". The envelope is depicted on the screen and I am double clicking in the middle of it, leaving the flashing cursor where I clicked. Then I select the "Address block" item in the wizards window and as soon as I do AddressBlock appears directly under the return address on the envelope (not where the cursor was). I tried placing other items, such as the bar code, but no matter where I try to place them they jump right up under the return address also. Is Word not WYSIWYG when using these functions? t"Doug Robbins" wrote: Are you sure that you have the selection inside the Frame that holds the envelope address? -- Hope this helps.

When you click in the centre of the document, you should see a rectangular
box with a hatched outline with the cursor inside that box. If you have Click and type enabled under ToolsOptions Edit, disable it. -- Hope this helps.

Thank you Doug, that fixed it. The "CLick and Type" was enabled, now I do
get the box you described. "Doug Robbins" wrote: When you click in the centre of the document, you should see a rectangular box with a hatched outline with the cursor inside that box.
