From the View menu in Word, select Toolbars and then check the Mailmerge
item. That will cause the Mailmerge toolbar to appear.
Use the first button on the toolbar to select that you want to create
Envelopes, then the Envelope Options dialog will appear and you then
select the type (size) of envelope that you want to use.
Then use the second button on the toolbar to open the datasource - here
you will need to navigate to and select your Access database and then the
table in the database that contains the address information.
After doing that, click in the address position on the "envelope" that is
displayed in Word (the outline of a frame should appear) with the cursor
inside this frame, use the sixth button on the mailmerge toolbar (Insert
Merge Fields) to select the fields that make up the address and insert
them into the frame. It is probably easiest to just select them all and
insert them one after one without bothering about the arrangement and when
they have all been inserted, place the cursor between the individual
fields and use Shift+Enter to arrange them in the configuration that you
require.
When you have this the way you want, use the Merge to Printer button on
the toolbar (the third from the right hand end) to execute the merge,
though perhaps you may want to first execute the merge to a new document
using the fourth button from the right hand end to see how the envelopes
will look and if satisfied, just print that "document".

I am trying to create a mailing list for Wors 2002 to print envelopes for
my Christmas cards. I am having a very difficult time following the
instructions in help. I am using Word 2002, but I will not be using
address book or email. I created a Christmas Card data base using Access,
but again, I am having a difficult time following Help instructions. I
don't need a document. Can someone provide me with user friendly
instructions? Thanks
