OK, I've got into the Modify Style dialog for Envelope Style. This
does not look like an envelope as Word prints them. It looks like a
page of a letter in which an address has been set off from the normal
text. Is this right?

Clicking the Format button says that the left indent is only 2",
which can't be the right one for printing envelopes. Perhaps I am
looking at the wrong style.

The delivery address position is defined in the Envelope Address
style, which includes a frame whose position can be changed. Within
that frame, the address is, by default, greatly indented; if this
indent is removed (as a result of failure to understand why it's
there), the result would be an address too far to the left.

As to why the address is indented so far within the frame, the only
reason I have been able to come up with is that the frame is
designed so that unindented text could be used for a line (above the
address) such as FIRST CLASS MAIL.

One of my users says that the default delivery address location has
changed,
moving the addresses too far to the left. Although I'm not sure
that it's moved, she would still like to be able to modify the
default location further
to the right.

When I moved the location manually, there was no option available
to set this posotion as the default.
