How to put graphics on envelopes?
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 |

How to put graphics on envelopes?
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.

How to put graphics on envelopes?
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.

How to put graphics on envelopes?
When you create a mail merge, tell Word to use the existing document as the
mail merge main document. Sometimes it's easier to start with the document and create the merge "by hand" using the Mail Merge toolbar.

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.

How to put graphics on envelopes?
Hi,
Sorry, but Word is complex. Some things require more knowledge of its complexities than do others. I guess for those of us who struggled in the early days of word processing and computers to print an envelope, this seems relatively straight-forward. If you are going to use Word effectively, it is essential that you learn how styles work. Until you do, you will be struggling uphill and it will feel like Word is working against you. http://addbalance.com/usersguide/styles.htm. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

How to put graphics on envelopes?
Charles,
Thank you for the reply. However, I will say that when you say, " I guess for those of us who struggled in the early days of word processing and computers to print an envelope, this seems relatively straight-forward," I had to laugh. I started word processing on a WANG before IBM launched their dual disk drive 8088 and did the six diskette shuffle with WordPerfect. Now that was straightforward from the beginning. Within the reveal code screen formattng codes could be viewed and changed. If I wanted a fancy return on an envelope, I simply created it as a document then selected paper type as envelope. I appreciate your suggestions to study the various levels of formatting within Word and have begun this process. In the mean time I am not any closer to getting a graphic on my envelope.

How to put graphics on envelopes?
I guess you are one of us. I, too, started with a dedicated Word Processing
machine (Dictaphone). Moved to MultiMate, then WP. In none of these was an envelope at all easy. WP has never been straightforward but it has one way of looking at a document and Word has a completely different way of doing things. Neither is especially intuitive. I haven't used WP since version 9. At one time, I had WP macros I had written that were hundreds of lines. Here is some general info on moving from Word Perfect to Word: Word and Word Perfect work very differently from one another. Each program's methods have strengths and weaknesses; but, if you try to use one of these programs as if it were the other, it is like pushing on a string! You can easily make a lot of extra work for yourself. In the (short) long term (weeks rather than years) spending the time to learn Word will save you time if you are spending any time at all (more than an hour a day) using Word. See http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordperfect.htm http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Genera...ordPerfect.htm http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Genera...AndGotchas.htm http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/RevealCodes.htm http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Genera...Converters.htm http://businesssoft.about.com/comput.../blconvert.htm for information on Word for Word Perfect users. For mo http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart1.htm http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Number...gExplained.htm http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/styles.htm http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...latesStore.htm Function Keys In Word 2000 (or later) You can get the function keys to display in a special toolbar at the bottom of the screen if you want (something like pressing F3 twice in WP). The following macro will do this. Sub ShowMeFunctionKeys() Commandbars("Function Key Display").Visible = True End Sub Word's Extend key (F8) gives something similar to block processing. The F4 key will repeat the last action, although sometimes gives very strange results. Formatting and Styles Learn about Styles - really learn! http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/styles.htm I resisted for years and now regret every day of those years because although that string was still very hard to push, it kept getting longer and longer, and had some very important projects tied to it! Once you understand styles and the Word concept of organizing things into Chinese boxes everything falls into place and instead of pushing a string, you can push a button that turns on the very powerful text processing machine known as Microsoft Word and it will start doing your work for you instead of running around behind you trying to undo what you just thought you did. Converting documents Word / Word Perfect Some special characters in Word Perfect documents don't convert well to Word. There is a macro to assist with this described at http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/wpdos/...html#macroword and can be found at http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/wpdos/WPSymbolConv.bas. This was prepared by Edward Mendelson. Otherwise, look at the macro from http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=212396 Use these on _copies_! As for converting documents from Word Perfect to _use_ in Word... In a word, don't plan on it. I would not recommend using converted documents long-term. They will be filled with formatting anomolies that will get you at the worst time. This is especially true of any documents containing automatic numbering or bullets. Try recreating form documents in Word using the following process: In Word Perfect (if you still have it, in Word if not) save your files as text files. Use your converted files as references to show you how you want your formatting to look. Create a new document in Word and insert the text from the text file. Save this new document as a Word template. Format it the way you want using styles, not direct formatting. Save it again. To use a template within Word, use File = New and pick your template. This will create a new document for you. Merge documents have special problems and should be recreated from text files or retyped in Word. To convert data files, consider generating labels in WP as a document, converting that to Word, and then using http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels...mail_merge.htm to get a new Word data file. Note that conversions usually do create documents that look passable and print OK; the problems I'm referring to have to do with editing / making changes, that is, using the documents long-term. (See below on reusing documents vs. using templates.) Conversion back to Word Perfect: There is a problem (in addition to the ones mentioned for conversion _to_ Word) with Version 2002 (XP) and later of Word. The conversion file only works for conversion _to_ Word, not from Word to Word Perfect! Earlier versions went both ways. To fix this, you need to find the old conversion file WPFT532.CNV from a Word 97 or Word 2000 installation and copy it to your new installation, replacing the file of the same name. Note, the change making the file one-way was done as a security measure. While I don't know of any problems the old file causes, keep the new installation's file somewhere as a backup just in case. Boilerplate and Forms In WP a lot of people use macros to hold chunks of text - boilerplate. In Word this function is filled by Templates, AutoText and AutoCorrect, not macros. Follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebre...s.htm#AutoText for more information on these tools. You can use FILLIN and ASK fields or UserForms to query the user. For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nesInForms.htm. Reusing Documents vs. Using templates General practice in WP is to have a document and copy and edit it to create a new document. This is not good practice in Word. In Word, construct a good, tight, template for your documents and use that template when constructing new documents. Among other things, this can avoid embarrassing "metadata" (http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/metadata.htm) and things like surprise headers and footers from creeping into new documents. It's a lot of reading, I know. It's OK to chunk it down and do a bit each day, but I would recommend that you make it a top priority to do that bit each day. In the (short) long run, it will save you both time and grief. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

How to put graphics on envelopes?
an envelope, I simply created it as a document then selected paper type as
envelope. FWIW, this is exactly what we (some of us, anyway) are suggesting that you do. Create an envelope template with the desired return address and use it (instead of the Envelopes and Labels dialog) to create your envelopes. The downside to this is that Word's Envelopes dialog for some reason offers a lot more envelope sizes (at least for my printer) than the Page Setup dialog, though I suppose you could get around that by using Add to Document in the Envelopes dialog, then detaching the document from the envelope. -- Suzanne S.

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 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 |
