Default Mail Merge using envelopes

Agreed! The cursor automatically going to the return address field is what
got me stumped in the first place. Viewing the merged data in the return
address location made for a beer drinking moment! One other note, the
"wizard" in both the 03 and 07 versions appear to be the same for merging.

Note that the merge process puts a frame on the envelope formatted with
the envelope address paragraph style, but the cursor automatically goes to
the return address location. You need to ensure that your mergefields go
in the frame. http://www.gmayor.com/changing_envelope_layout.htm (although
aimed at Word 2003) should help demonstrate the process.

Cool! Glad it's working out.

As for the pilcrows... Word can display "non-printing formatting
characters," such as the pilcrow, which represents a paragraph mark.
Little dots for spaces, little arrow for tabs, etc. They are
exceedingly handy for figuring out why a document is acting strange,
or exactly what's in your document. You can reveal/hide them by
pressing Ctrl+Shift+8, or by clicking the Show/Hide tool in the
Paragraph section of the Home tab. What might look like white space
might actually contain a number of
non-printing formatting marks. And, while they don't print, they can
sure get in the way at times. So, most of us long-time Word users
rely on them to know where the ghosts & skeletons are hidden.

Cheers,
