Envelope Formatting
With Word 2007 the delivery address default setting seems to be 4" from
the left side of a standard #10 envelope. Can that be changed? Not only does it look a bit odd, but I think the USPS automation standard is aproximately 5". Word 2000 was definitely over that way. RM |

The address is placed by the envelope address style - see

So much so that not once in four tries did the changes apply to a new document after saving on exit and reopening Word. One time, after moving the envelope frame to the right 1", the next time it had moved to the left 1"! Not even font changes are holding for, whether changed by this method or within the Envelope box with Default/Save. They keep reverting back to Headers font. I'm at a loss.

That's one of the reasons why I use templates for envelopes - you can download some automated #10 samples from my web site. Note that if you are using a document template, the envelope address style in the document template will have precedence over the one in normal.dotm It didn't strike me until recently that the user can change the envelope's delivery address placement by adjusting the horizontal position in the Envelope Options box (2007). But it's too bad there's no Default option in that window, only the Fonts one (even it doesn't work)? RM |

As Graham told you, Envelope Address is a STYLE and it is the style that
needs to be changed for any changes to become permanent. Ditto for the Return Address too. But as Graham says, the Envelope Wizard has always be a tortuous device and many of us bypass it in favour of creating templates for the envelopes that we use. He has several samples on his site that you can download and use or edit to meet your own needs. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP wrote in message ...

Just curious if I'm the only one whose font changes in Envelope Options (default, save normal.dot) and style changes (the long tortuous method) don't hold session to session. Roger |
