If this is a one-time job, the simplest approach is to create a
single-column data source with the entire address in a single cell. If each
address is a single paragraph, that's a very simple Convert Text to Table
operation, separating at paragraphs.
If each line is a paragraph but there is an empty paragraph between
addresses, then that's almost as simple. It just requires replacing
paragraph breaks (^p) with line breaks (^l) and then replacing two line
breaks (^l^l) with a paragraph break, then converting the text to a table,
separating at paragraphs.

You're going to have to do some work to rearrange the data into a mail
merge source document. See
http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels...mail_merge.htm for instructions.
After that's ready, you can run mail merges to envelopes just as easilly
as to labels.

I have Office 2003. I have been given a list of addresses in a word
document. The names and addresses are not in a table....format looks
like this:
Mr and Mrs John Jones
123 Somewhere Lane
Little City, VA 12345
Jane Smith
456 Main Street
Big Town, NC 67890
I have probably 150+ names.
I need to print envelopes for each address and I need to put a return
address on the envelope. My boss would like a logo included in the
return address. She does not want to use labels.
I need help. And since I'm not overly familiar with anything except
printing one envelope for a single letter I need detailed
directions!!!
Can anyone help me? I have to have this completed by mid-day
tomorrow, Thur. 7/24/08!!
