Default How to keep my name/address OUT of the return address box?

When I entered my name and address into the "return address" field of the
Print Envelopes option in Word, it keeps re-appearing even when I uncheck the
Omit option and delete it! It's very annoying! Maybe I'l rather have my
company's name and address to stay there, so when I uncheck the omit box,
remove mine and enter my company's, it never stays. I'll close out of Word,
and mine's back the very next time! I've asked other co-workers, and they
can't figure it out either.

The default return address is probably picked up from the User Information
tab of Tools | Options. If you want to use the company name, why not create
an envelope template for the purpose? See

We have the same problem in our office and because we couldn't clear it we
all changed the font color to white. I know it's not a permanent solution,
but it worked

Thank you, I'll try that then. I'm glad it's not just me. It happened when
I free formed in the address field of the return address box. My company has
pre-printed, letterhead envelopes with the return address, so I never had to
type in our address. The day that I wanted to send something personal on a
plain envelope, that's the day that it decided to never leave once I typed in
my home addresss. It's so annoying!

Default How to keep my name/address OUT of the return address box?

Thank you, I actually tired that yesterday after PJY's suggestion, when I
started digging into the help topic's index. When I first tried Tools
Options User Information Mailing Address, and deleting it from the box,
my address was removed from the Return Address Field of Envelopes and
Mailing. I was happy that I figured it out, but, as an experiment, I later
closed out of Word, then reopened it only to find it had re-appeared again.
I told my co-worker that it had to be the "ghost" in the hotel! Today, after
reading your suggestion, I opened Word and a new document (with no type) and
so far, so good, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Thank you so much for your help!
