How to print envelopes and letters
Which version of Word?
Can you verify that in your Mail merge Main document, a. your envelope and letter are in two different sections (the way most people create this kind of merge, the envelope will be in section 1 and the letter will be in section 2) b. when you click in each section (make sure you really have clicked in the correct section), and go to File|Page Setup|Paper, the correct Paper tray is assigned for each section. If that is all correct, then in Word 2003 I would say that if the output is not going to the correct printer trays, there is probably a problem with your printer driver - personally, the most I would try to do in that case is check that th edriver is up-to-date and try again. If that does not work, I would either accept that it is probably easier to do all the envelopes in one merge and all the letters in another, or try to use VBA to solve the problem. If you have more than one page per section and use different trays for "first page" and "subsequent pages", things may be a little different - I am not sure.

How to print envelopes and letters
Hi ?B?cWptb3VkeQ==?=,
We are trying to print envelopes and letter one after the other. At this time they all pull from the same drawer. Are the envelope and letter in the same document (you added the envelope to the letter)? If this is the case, then there are two SECTIONs in the document (you should be able to see this in the status bar, at the bottom left of the Word window). Click on the envelope, so the focus is in Section 1. Go to File/Page Setup and look for the "Paper source" settings. Change the "Tray" information for the First Page to the tray for the envelope feed. (Note: you may need to test various settings until you find the right one for your printer) Make sure that "Apply to" is set to "This section" (and not "Whole document").

How to print envelopes and letters
Thanks Peter,
It did turn out to be a driver problem, went from PS to PCL and it worked fine. I think the PS on this printer is just an emulation. Thanks again, Q "Peter Jamieson" wrote: Which version of Word?
