Default Printing Envelope with currently selected text as address

Word 2003
We use a custom database for our travel-related business. The database
creates a merge document for our confirmation letter. I print 10-20 of these
a day. I have one printer with normal paper, and one printer with envelopes.
Currently, open the print dialog, change the printer to the envelope
printer, then highlight the person's address, go to Tools\Envelopes and
Labels (Alt+L) and click print to print the envelope.

I have created a macro to change the printer for me, but I need two. One to
change to the envelope printer, and one to change back to default printer.
What I would like, it to have a macro change the printer, print the envelope,
and then change the printer back. I tried recording the macro, but it saved
the name/address and does not update it when I try to print the letter for
antoher customer.

How do I get the Envelopes and Labels dialog to populate with the currently
selected text and not the text I had selected when I created the macro?

Thanks
Pat
