Redundant extra page
I tried to set up a 10 x 4 envelope at the top of an 8 1/2 x 11 page (landscape). Brought
in a table of one cell, just for visual alignment, and text boxes for return and send addresses. Somehow, the program has ascertained that I really want 2 pages, each 11 x 4 1/4 above and below each other. So print results in a blank sheet and an ok envelope. But the blank sheet prints first (my option) and there is no opportunity to set the envelope in the printer. How can I place the text and margins where they belong and wind up with just one sheet? What is an anchor symbol? Thanks, rs |

I can't image what you have done, but you mentioned table. Tables MUST
always be followed by a paragraph mark that stores its formatting information. Turn on your ShowAll command and you will probably see the trailing paragraph mark on the blank page in its own. Select it and apply Hidden attribute. Then when you toggle off the ShowAll command, the extra page will disappear. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "tcebob" handle @ gwi.net wrote in message ...

Redundant extra page
(Forgot to mention: Word 2003) Apparently the table cell complicates the situation, so I removed it. Now I have two text boxes and have defined the margins as left 0.1", right 0.9", top 4" and bottom 0.5". however, as you can see on the screen shot, the margin area is about half that expected, though the tick marks are shown right. Further, if I drag one of the textboxes to the working area, it disappears. I guess I'll have to give up on the textboxes and just type the text in place. rs "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... :I can't image what you have done, but you mentioned table.

It is impossible to see what you have done because you still haven't toggled
on the ShowAll command. If you can't see the non-printing characters, you cannot see what you have done. We can't see what you have done either. Terry "tcebob" handle @ gwi.net wrote in message ...

OK, I take it you mean the Show/Hide command. Here's another shot. As I said, the table is
removed.

Redundant extra page
I'm beginning to understand now. The text boxes are floating in the wrong
places - but most mysteriously, I cannot see an anchor anywhere. You could try right-clicking on the edge of each text box and then use the position settings all set reference to the Page. However, this is totally the wrong way to set about this. The Word way is to go to Tools, Envelopes and Labels, select the Envelope tab, select the correct envelope size and Add to Document. Note that the envelopes displayed are limited solely to those supported by your printer driver. If 10 x 4 is not an option, select the closest envelope larger than the 10 x 4 and Add To Document. Then go to page setup and adjust the margins to compensate for the oversize. Once it is correct, you can save it as a template for reuse However, that said, I hate the wizard and prefer to create my own templates for the envelopes that I use regularly. My colleague, Graham Mayor, has an excellent guide in how to change the envelope layouts and several envelope templates that you can download. http://www.gmayor.com/changing_envelope_layout.htm Terry "tcebob" handle @ gwi.net wrote in message ...

Redundant extra page
Graham's automated solution may be easier for you, and I usually create my
envelope templates from scratch (beginning with the envelope paper size and placing elements manually), but for those who find it convenient to create an envelope through the Envelopes and Labels dialog and then attach it to a document for saving, printing, or fine-tuning, my article explains how remove the attached "letter." -- Suzanne S.
