How to put graphics on envelopes?
If it was simple, I wouldn't have taken the trouble to prepare a web page to
explain how it is done. If you want a graphic on *all* your envelopes then save that graphic as an autotext entry called EnvelopeExtra1or EnvelopeExtra2. However, most people want business graphics only on some envelopes or they may want to prepare different envelopes for different clients. Then the further method in the web page http://www.gmayor.com/Alternative_Return_Addresses.htm shows a relatively simnple way to do that. If you get macro warnings when using my templates then set Macro security to trust installed templates and add-ins and set your security level to Medium. If you create an envelope template of your own, then note that it doesn't work with the the Envelopes & Labels wizard. It produces free standing documents. From file new. The macro code which calls addresses from Outlook on my envelope templates is explained at http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm You can use the envelope document you create from your (or my) envelope template as the basis for a mail merge by setting the merge document type as form letter from the merge toolbar (see http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm ) -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Steve Koenig wrote: Thank you for your reply Suzanne. I have been able to create a document with the graphic and return address just as I would like the envelopes to look like, however, after creating the document, when I go to tools, mail merge, envelopes, I get an envelope with the default return address not as the document I just created. I tried to look at Graham's templates but receive the message, "The macros in this project are disabled." I would much prefer to learn how to add a graphic to an envelope than to be forced to use someone's template. It is really surprising that it is so difficult to add a graphic to an envelope. Thank you, Steve Koenig "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Have you tried just creating your envelope as a document? You might look at the downloadable envelope templates Graham offers. -- Suzanne S.

"Steve Koenig" wrote in message ... Sometimes an answer to a question can lead to a multitude of other questions. I think this may be the case here. First I had to ponder the following: "To achieve this, create a paragraph style for the return text." Then I was introduced to "floating" graphics and text as two separate saved styles? The goal is simply to print a graphic on the top left corner of the envelope with the return address directly next to the graphic. Thank you for responding but I am no closer to getting a graphic to print on my envelopes. Steve Koenig "Charles Kenyon" wrote: Look in help under EnvelopeExtra AutoText.

I would like the full editing capabilities of Word 2003 to prepare envelopes including inserting graphics, but when I go to Tools, Letters and mailings, then envelopes, I get a small envelope sized area to put in the information I want printed on the envelopes. How do I get graphics printed as part of the return address? Thank you, Steve Koenig |
