printing *stuff* on an envelope?
Hello,
I am using Word 2003 on Windows Vista. I am trying to type stuff on the face of a standard size 10 envelope, or any envelope for that matter. I want to type in the months of the year and a check box in front of each month for gas receipts. When I go to labels and envelopes that only lets me print addresses and return address. I have tried setting the margins on a new page the same as the envelope size but when I type it out it is of course in portrait mode but my printer (HP LaserJet 3050) only accepts envelopes lengthwise. When I use landscape mode it just changes the paper but the text is still horizontal. If I do that and then select all text and try and go to text direction, it's grayed out. I don't know how to accomplish this. Just to be clear, I want to type the months of the year with a check box in front of each month and a heading "Gas receipts" at the top on the face of an envelope. Anyone here know how to do this? TIA |

Use "Add to document" to add an envelope to the current document; then
remove the document as described at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/DetachEnvelope.htm. This will give you an envelope to work with (and save as a template if desired). But you should be able to start from scratch as well, choosing your envelope size from the Paper tab of Page Setup and the correct orientation from the Margins tab. The text direction will always be horizontal regardless of how the envelope is fed to the printer; you need to choose landscape or portrait depending on how you want the text to appear on the envelope. -- Suzanne S.
