strange fonts when printing envelope
So what's 'strange' about it? Just saying you're getting "strange characters" isn't very helpful.
Are you sure the return address is formatted with a font that is available on your system? Have you tried running 'Detect and Repair' from Word's Help menu? Have you tried reinstalling the font?

strange fonts when printing envelope
When I am saying 'strange' I mean as an example: !"#$#% etc. some of these
strange character are even overtyped (" overtyped on .) and spacing diminished. I tried few different fonts when typed the return address, all of them look perfect on my display before and after printing. Only on the printout I am getting those strange characters. I did not try the 'Detect and Repair' and I don't know how to do it, please help. The fonts I am using are normal Office fonts, and I don't have any problem displaying or printing the Address itself. Anyway thank you, and hope you can elaborate with a solution. "macropod" wrote: So what's 'strange' about it? Just saying you're getting "strange characters" isn't very helpful.

strange fonts when printing envelope
Hi jtsafnat,
Which version of Word are you using? For Word 2007, run the Office Diagnostics, which you can to via Word_Options|Resources. Given you additional information, the document may be corrupt or the problem may be with your print driver. Do other applications print satisfactorily? If not, the problem is most likely with the print driver, and you will need to re-install/replace it. Do other Word documents print satisfactorily? If so, your document may be corrupt, in which case, you might find that copying the undamaged portions to a new document and recreating the return address portion will cure the problem.

strange fonts when printing envelope
Hi macropod
My Word version is: Word 2007 (12.0.6212.1000) SP1 MSO (12.0.6213.1000) I tryed the Diagnostics, and got non problems in all tests. I printed just a few documents, without any problem at all. When printing the address on the envelope, the address itself print is perfect (few different fonts tested), BUT the return address is corrupted for some reason. Please help Thanks, jtsafnat "macropod" wrote: Hi jtsafnat, Which version of Word are you using? For Word 2007, run the Office Diagnostics, which you can to via Word_Options|Resources.

strange fonts when printing envelope
When you select the envelope tool, do you have an address in the return
address window? If so, select it and delete it. Add an envelope to a document. You should get a prompt to save the new address. Do so. Repeat, restoring your correct address (though personally I prefer not to have a return address here and use the method at http://www.gmayor.com/Alternative_Return_Addresses.htm to add a return address when required.) or Use the following macros. The first one will set the user address to zero. Run it then create an envelope and save the address at the prompt Sub Macro1() Application.UserAddress = "" End Sub The second will put your address back - change the parts to match your real address. Run the macro then create another envelope and save at the prompt. Sub Macro2() Application.UserAddress = "1 My Street" & vbCr & _ "My Town" & vbCr & "My Country" End Sub See also http://www.gmayor.com/changing_envelope_layout.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org jtsafnat wrote: Hi macropod My Word version is: Word 2007 (12.0.6212.1000) SP1 MSO (12.0.6213.1000) I tryed the Diagnostics, and got non problems in all tests.
