Mail merge to custom envelope size 8x5
i created a mail merge from excel data to a custom word document that is 8"w
x 5"h, the size of my envelope. Data came over fine. When I send to my printer (Epson Stylus R300 Series) and feed the envelope in, it puts a lead of 3.75" before it starts printing, throwing off where the text appears. How do I get rid of the 3.75" lead and just get it to print right away? |

Mail merge to custom envelope size 8x5
Word relies on the printer driver to format documents and with documents
using custom page sizes the printer driver will frequently use the nearest standard size. The simplest workaround is to adapt a standard page size by using the margins and styles to set the text position. To aid setting those margins print the 'envelope' on A4 or US letter paper then superimpose the paper over the envelope to reflect the relative position of the envelope as it would track through the printer mechanism, then adjust the margins accordingly to move the text into the correct area occupied by the envelope.
