Setting default return address margins for envelopes

[mbk]

Our agency envelopes have a logo in the return address area, so our return
address margins have to be set specifically to keep from printing over the
logo. How can I set those margins as a default? I was able to do this in an
earlier version of Word, but can't find a way to do it in the 2003 version. I
only print one envelope at a time (no mass mailings), and it's a pain to have
to re-set the margins every single time.

thanks in advance

Create a template for your envelopes that has the desired margins and then
use that.

I don't mean to be totally daft, but I'm having trouble even setting up a
template for the envelope. The instructions I find in the Help files are all
about the font and spaces between lines, nothing about the actual margins of
the return address.

The return address can be positioned by setting indents and space before in
the Envelope Return paragraph style
