Saving Envelope Settings

D

Dave

When I wish to print envelopes, I select the "Envelopes &
Labels" window and then, "Options", which brings up
the "Envelope Options" window.

At this point, there are settings for "Delivery and
Return Address" marked "From left" and "From top". Is
there a way to select certain distances for these
settings and then Save them, so the envelope printing
comes up with them set to my choices, everytime?

A similar problem was posed to the Daily Telegraph's "connected" section.
Here's the question and answer.

I wonder if you can help me out in what must be quite a common problem
with Microsoft Word. When I want to print out the address on an envelope, I
click on the envelope tag, select the size of envelope and then using
Options; I can move the position of the address anywhere on the envelope to
suit my requirements. Unfortunately once you have printed the address on the
first envelope the default position reverts back to the standard position.
So with the next envelope you have to go all the way through this procedure
again. Is there anyway that I can change the default position to suit my own
requirements? Derek Jones,

It is an old niggle but there is a trick, which isn't mentioned in Word Help
or any of the textbooks that I'm aware of. Open a blank document and save it
as 'Envelope'. Next go to Envelopes and Labels on the Tools menu, key in
your address and use Options to set the style and layout, when you've
finished click Add to Document then Save. The Envelope document now becomes
your default template so simply open it, then Envelopes and Labels when you
need it.
