printing custom size envelopes
When I try to print an envelope other than the standard size #10, the
receiver's name and address are printed at the far right end of the envelope and only half of it is there. I tried a full size sheet of paper, telling the program it was an envelope, and got the same thing. Any ideas? My printer is such that the right end goes in first, face up. |

Word does'nt work real well with odd-size envelopes, at least not for me.
Graham Mayor's site (which you can find through one of his posts here or on the MVP FAQ page) has a lot on envelope formatting. I built my envelope templates much more roughly, though, before he posted that information. What I do is to not tell Word that I have an envelope at all. I have an odd-size envelope template that looks, on the screen, as if it is a letter-size page printed in landscape mode. I have the margins set so that it actually only prints in the area that my printer prints on the envelope. This isn't elegant and I may have to change the template if I change printers. Depends on how much time you want to spend on it. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
