Many laser printers have a multi purpose or separate manual feed tray that
can hold multiple envelopes (eg, the Lexmark T630 can hold 10 without the
envelope feeder). However, I agree this setup would not work if you don't
have a separate way to feed envelopes - otherwise you're going to be
standing by the printer for a loooong time .

That's all very well if your printer has separate bins for envelopes and
letters - and even then some printer drivers will conspire against you,
but
when it works, it works

Okay...it works! Create a blank document, then insert a section
break (next page). On the second page (your envelope), go to file,
page setup and and format the margins & paper for an envelope (make
the margins smaller, etc.). Make sure to select "This section" when
you change the page formatting. Then create the mailing address for
the envelope - Word's envelope tool uses a frame, but I find it
easier to use a single cell table (turn off the borders).

The advantage of this - in case people are wondering why go to all
this trouble - is the letters & envelopes will be all next to each
other.

I was afraid of that. Thank you for your help, and I apologize for
misspelling envelope.

Attempting to merge letters with envelopes together imposes some
interesting demands on the abilities of your printer and is frankly
impractical in most circumstances. It is a simple matter to create
an envelope merge and use the same data source and that is what I
would recommend. You can even use the envelope templates for
download from my web site as a start point (though you will have to
unlink the macros they contain).

I have created a mail merge form letter document in Word 2003 that
selects recipients from an Access 2003 database using a query. I
would to print envelopes to the recipients, which is based on the
form letters, which has the name and address' placed in the
Address Block. I am trying not to create another mail merge
document for envelops, which will use the same query and the form
letter. Thanks in advance.
