Default Printing envelopes using Envelopes and Lables option

Hi,

I usually have no problem using the "Tools"-"Letters and Mailing"-"Envelopes
and Mailing" function. However, this time I need to address special
envelopes which are very large and I'd like to print the delivery address in
a larger font size.
Every time I try to use a larger font though... I am restricted by the
Delivery Address box. I'm wondering if there is a way to work outside the
confines of that box.
Thanks for any thoughts!

You can increase the font size in the box: select the text, right-click, and
choose Font. Or click Add to Document to get an envelope you can see. If the
frame of the Delivery Address style is too small, you can drag it larger.

As Suzanne implies the address information is inserted in a frame which is
part of the Envelope Address paragraph style. This by default has a fixed
size, but you can change that - see
http://www.gmayor.com/changing_envelope_layout.htm
If you may have to return to this task, I would recommend creating a
template for it. You may find http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm holds a
useful method of addressing such templates from Outlook.
