When copying text from a pleading (with 23 point spacing) to do a single
spaced envelope, I am unable to print an envelope with single spacing,
although it appears correctly on the page. There are no other changes to
paragraph formatting (i.e. space before or after the paragraph) and text is
not centered on the page. When I view the info in the envelope print window
it appears and prints at approximately 1.5 spacing. Even if I paste the text
to a new document, the paragraph formatting appears single in preview until
you go to the envelope window, then it appears at approx. 1.5 spacing.

You could copy the 23-point text to a blank document, reformat it to get
what you want, and then create the envelope based on the blank document.
It's difficult to reformat in the envelope menu.

I tried that already Richard (see my last sentence). I'm really stumped with
this one. I am stumped and can't figure this one out. Still looking though!!

As an experiment, try copy & paste one line (para) at a time without copying
the para mark at the end of each line/para. I have a similar issue with
envelopes and find this is the only thing that removes all the formatting from
the original.

Select the text in the Envelope window and right-click. Choose Paragraph and
make sure Single spacing is selected.

Select the text on the envelope and press CTRL+SPACE to apply the underlying
style without the formatting from the source.
Alternatively create the following macro
(http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm ) and use it to paste your text
to the envelope.

Sub PasteUnfText()
On Error GoTo oops
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _
wdInLine
End
oops:
Beep
End Sub
