: The Word way is to go to Tools, Envelopes and Labels, select the
: Envelope tab, select the correct envelope size and Add to Document.
: Note that the envelopes displayed are limited solely to those
: supported by your printer driver. If 10 x 4 is not an option, select
: the closest envelope larger than the 10 x 4 and Add To Document.
: Then go to page setup and adjust the margins to compensate for the
: oversize. Once it is correct, you can save it as a template for reuse
:
: However, that said, I hate the wizard and prefer to create my own
: templates for the envelopes that I use regularly. My colleague,
: Graham Mayor, has an excellent guide in how to change the envelope
: layouts and several envelope templates that you can download.

: I tried to set up a 10 x 4 envelope at the top of an 8 1/2 x 11

: pages, each 11 x 4
: 1/4 above and below each other. So print results in a blank

: the blank sheet prints first (my option) and there is no
