How can I change the defaults for an envelope and keep them?
When I print #10 envelopes in the new version of Word,I have to change the
default for the "from top" delivery address from auto to 1.8. I do this every time I print an envelope. What I'm wondering is, can I set that default from "auto" to the 1.8 and keep it so it will be there every time? Thanks for any help anyone can give. J.Bennett |

To do this you'll have to modify the Envelope Address style, which uses a
frame for positioning. See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html for general instructions. In the Modify Style dialog, click Format and choose Frame, then set the position of the frame as desired. -- Suzanne S.

As I said, Shauna's article explains the general principles. You do this
just about the same in Word 2007. Open the Styles window, choose Manage Styles, select Envelope Address and proceed from there. -- Suzanne S.

How can I change the defaults for an envelope and keep them?
Suzanne I finally was able to do as you stated, now how do I save it? I went
though all the steps and finally found the frame to change the height of the wording, but cannot find a way to save it. I have to be in a word document to get into the Delivery Address frame, but again no where to save it back to Delivery Address frame, it will only ask, when you're done, if you want to save changes to document XXX.

I think you missed that you have to modify the frame in the Envelope Address
style, not just in a document. When you modify the style, choose the radio button for "New documents based on this template." Assuming the template in question is Normal.dotm, that will cover envelopes created thereafter. Again, here are the steps: 1. On the Home tab of the Ribbon, click the arrow below Change Styles in the Styles group to open the Styles window/pane. 2. At the bottom of that window, mouse over the buttons till you find the one that shows the ScreenTip "Manage Styles" and click on it. 3. On the Edit tab, choose the sort order to Alphabetical and scroll down (or up) to Envelope Address. 4. Select Envelope Address and click Modify... 5. In the Modify Style dialog, click the Format button in the lower left corner. 6. Choose Frame. 7. In the Frame dialog, change the vertical position (and size) as desired. Note that by default the frame is formatted as Bottom relative to Margin. If you want to leave it there (a good idea) and move it lower, then you need to reduce the height. 8. After making the desired modifications, OK out of the Frame dialog, choose the "New documents based on this template" button, and OK out. If it's actually the Envelope Return style you want to modify, then you can use Format | Paragraph to add some Space Before. You can't make it any closer to the top without changing the envelope margins, which are set by Word at 0.25" top and 0.5" left (you can override the left margin by giving the Envelope Return style a negative left indent), but I doubt that your printer can print much closer to the top than that, anyway. -- Suzanne S.

with navigating these new dialogs in Word 2007. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "J.Bennett" wrote in message ...

How can I change the defaults for an envelope and keep them?
I have tried the same thing in letterhead templates that I have created. Yet,
every time I create an envelope from the letterhead or any other template that I have updated with the new envelope address style, the style gets changed back to the wrong thing as soon as I use the envelope feature. I have checked the style before I run the envelope feature and then again after I use the envelope feature and it always changes. -- Judy L "Suzanne S.

Normal.dot, not the letterhead template. Try changing it in a Blank Document (based on Normal.dot) and save that to the template. -- Suzanne S.

We've seen this before with both envelopes and labels, and I can't remember
what the solution turned out to be. For labels, it was definitely an issue with the Normal style having been changed in the document/template. -- Suzanne S.

If it's actually the Envelope Return style you want to modify, then you can use Format | Paragraph to add some Space Before. You can't make it any closer to the top without changing the envelope margins, which are set by Word at 0.25" top and 0.5" left (you can override the left margin by giving the Envelope Return style a negative left indent), but I doubt that your printer can print much closer to the top than that, anyway. -- Suzanne S.

How can I change the defaults for an envelope and keep them?
I am doing this for a client and they never use the Normal template. They
start all documents from other templates. I tried changed the envelope address style in Normal.dotm just to be sure. I checked the style in a document that I based on the Normal.dotm file before I used the envelope feature and it showed the changes. Then I used the envelope feature and it changed the style. -- Judy L "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: We've seen this before with both envelopes and labels, and I can't remember what the solution turned out to be. For labels, it was definitely an issue with the Normal style having been changed in the document/template. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Office Productivity Consultant" t.com wrote in message ... Tried that. It didn't work. Any other ideas? I really appreciate the the help. I am using Word 2007 so I updated both the letterhead template and the Normal.dotm -- Judy L "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: I suspect that the Envelope dialog uses the Envelope Address style from Normal.dot, not the letterhead template. Try changing it in a Blank Document (based on Normal.dot) and save that to the template. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Office Productivity Consultant" t.com wrote in message ... I have tried the same thing in letterhead templates that I have created. Yet, every time I create an envelope from the letterhead or any other template that I have updated with the new envelope address style, the style gets changed back to the wrong thing as soon as I use the envelope feature. I have checked the style before I run the envelope feature and then again after I use the envelope feature and it always changes. -- Judy L "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: I think you missed that you have to modify the frame in the Envelope Address style, not just in a document. When you modify the style, choose the radio button for "New documents based on this template." Assuming the template in question is Normal.dotm, that will cover envelopes created thereafter. Again, here are the steps: 1. On the Home tab of the Ribbon, click the arrow below Change Styles in the Styles group to open the Styles window/pane. 2. At the bottom of that window, mouse over the buttons till you find the one that shows the ScreenTip "Manage Styles" and click on it. 3. On the Edit tab, choose the sort order to Alphabetical and scroll down (or up) to Envelope Address. 4. Select Envelope Address and click Modify... 5. In the Modify Style dialog, click the Format button in the lower left corner. 6. Choose Frame. 7. In the Frame dialog, change the vertical position (and size) as desired. Note that by default the frame is formatted as Bottom relative to Margin. If you want to leave it there (a good idea) and move it lower, then you need to reduce the height. 8.

This is an issue that just bamboozles me, as I haven't yet figured out the
logic of it. Where is Beth Melton when you need her? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Office Productivity Consultant" t.com wrote in message ...
