We have a few different people who want to print A6 envelopes. The printer
manufacturer has the dimensions for A6 as 105mm x 148mm or 4.1" x 5.8". Word
creates the error and resizes the width to 6.4".

I have configured my default printer to three different models of
All-in-Ones to see if any of them will accept this setting. What options are
there for feeding the A6 dimensions into the Custom Size dialog box or
elsewhere?

The E6 envelope with minimum widths selected is within postal regulations
but not extremely professional.

As far as I can see it's a Word limitation that prevents you from specifying
an envelope size smaller than 6.4in in the Envelopes and Labels dialog box.
Strange, because it lists E6 size which is 110mm x 155mm and whose width is
therefore under the minimum allowed in the custom size.

I can't see a way around that /in this dialog/.

What I'd probably do is
a. create an A6-sized document based loosely on the layout created by the
Envelopes and Labels function, with the return address already filled in if
all your users use the same one, or leave it blank.
b. save it as a Word template (.dot) if your users are used to working with
them, or as a .doc if that's what they know
c. create a new toolbar in the .dot/.doc you just saved, and drag the
Insert Address button to it
d. resave

If you intend to follow Peter's suggestion, which is what I would do, you
may find it helpful to download the automated envelope samples from my web
site. Open one of the templates and change the paper size to A6, drag the
address frame to where you want it to be (see
http://www.gmayor.com/changing_envelope_layout.htm ) adjust the left margin
to fix the position of the return address (see also
http://www.gmayor.com/Alternative_Return_Addresses.htm ). Check it prints
out correctly and save it as A6 Envelope.dot.

Printing A6 Envelopes in Microsoft Word

Printing A6 envelopes in Microsoft Word is a straightforward process. However, you need to ensure that the printer you are using supports the A6 envelope size. Here are the steps to print A6 envelopes in Microsoft Word:

1. Open Microsoft Word and create a new document.
2. Click on the "Mailings" tab in the ribbon.
3. Click on the "Envelopes" button in the "Create" group.
4. In the "Envelopes and Labels" dialog box, click on the "Options" button.
5. In the "Envelope Options" dialog box, select "Custom Size" from the "Envelope size" drop-down menu.
6. Enter the dimensions for the A6 envelope, which are 105mm x 148mm or 4.1" x 5.8".
7. Click "OK" to close the "Envelope Options" dialog box.
8. In the "Envelopes and Labels" dialog box, enter the recipient's address in the "Delivery address" field and your return address in the "Return address" field.
9. Load the A6 envelope into the printer according to the printer's instructions.
10. Click "Print" to print the envelope.

If Word is resizing the width to 6.4", it may be because the printer driver is not configured to accept custom paper sizes. In this case, you may need to install a printer driver that supports custom paper sizes or contact the printer manufacturer for assistance.

It's worth noting that not all printers support A6 envelopes, so you may need to check the printer's specifications before attempting to print A6 envelopes. If A6 envelopes are not supported, you may need to use a different envelope size or consider using a professional printing service.
