Envelope Address Paragraph Formatting
I'm trying to print an envelope with an address that is 7 rows long. I cannot
adjust the paragraph settings, however, to get the spacing to be 0pt. between each row. The result is that the address does not fit on the envelope. How do I adjust the line spacing in the envelope address? You can adjust line spacing in a label, but not a envelope, by right clicking on the address. |

Envelope Address Paragraph Formatting
You you can adjust line spacing for envelopes the same way, but you can't
set line spacing for either to 0 because each line of text would overprint the next, rendering it unreadable. If you need to cram that much onto a single envelope/label you'll have to use a smaller font size or a larger envelope/label :-) Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 9/16/08 11:30 AM, in article , "Rufus67" wrote: I'm trying to print an envelope with an address that is 7 rows long.

Bob
Thanks for the reply. I understand what you're saying, but the confusing thing is that when I type in the return address it too has a lot of space between each line but, when printed, comes out as you would expect it to (i.e., single spaced). Why is there is a discrepancy with the address versus the return address in terms of what's seen on the screen and what prints on the envelope?

Envelope Address Paragraph Formatting
See http://www.gmayor.com/changing_envelope_layout.htm
The addresses are formatted with styles Envelope Address & Envelope Return. The former has a fixed size frame, by default, which limits what can be entered. The link shows how to change that. Note that for a seven line address you will have to select it first as the envelope tool will probably not recognize seven lines as an address. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Rufus67 wrote: Bob Thanks for the reply.

Envelope Address Paragraph Formatting
Graham
Thanks for that link, that helps a bunch. I was able to enter the address in Word 2003 without issue. While your solution will work for Word 2007 I cannot, for the life of me, understand why it should be necessary to jump through those hoops to recreate something that was possible in an earlier version of the program. Is this supposed to be progress? "Graham Mayor" wrote: See http://www.gmayor.com/changing_envelope_layout.htm The addresses are formatted with styles Envelope Address & Envelope Return.

Envelope Address Paragraph Formatting
The issue was exactly the same in Word 2003? Word 2003 used a fixed height
frame by default also. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Rufus67 wrote: Graham Thanks for that link, that helps a bunch.

Envelope Address Paragraph Formatting
Possibly the problem in 2007 is the Space After in the Normal style? (Not to
mention the 115% line spacing.) If users enter addresses with paragraph breaks rather than line breaks, this will expand the address vertically by a goodly amount. -- Suzanne S.
