Hi Herb!...thanks for getting me started in the right direction. I had to
fiddle with it for quite a while and this is what I came up with. Since I
do not want a return address, I had to choose the "Omit" selection on the
return address selection. There was not a pilcrow on my envelope, however
after I just started clicking around , I found that if I clicked on the
middle bottom of the envelope the dashed frame would show up. From there
everything was pretty much straight forward. I choose the seperate fields
from Insert Merge Fields, editing by using a SHIFT Enter where I wanted the
breaks, added commas and spaces where needed and everything worked out.

In the Mailings tab, I assume you're doing the following:
1. Click Start Mail Merge, and choose Envelopes; select the desired
envelope and click OK.
2. This puts an envelope onscreen. If you've set a default Return Address,
then it's displayed in the left corner. There should be a framed area for
the To: address. Clicking the solitary pilcrow (paragraph mark) in the
lower middle area should highlight the larger framed area. This is where
you will (later) put the address tokens.
3. Click Select Recipients and connect to a database of some kind.
4. Use Address Block or separate fields from Insert Merge Field to
populate the To: address area. Click the Preview Results button to toggle
between field/token and actual addresses display.
From there, you can choose one of the Finish & Merge options.
That's all there is to it.
So, at what point is it breaking down?

W07, trying to use mail merge to print the address on envelopes. My
envelopes already have a pre-printed return address and company logo etc
so all I want is the address information. I can link to a source
documents for all the names, address, city etc howeve the problem is I
cannot get to to place this info in any place other that the return area
of the envelope. I can tab the cursor to the correct location on the
envelope but randomly the address 1, city state zip fields go all over
the envelope. Its got to be simple....what am I missing? TIA
