What is the deal with envelopes?

[Geek]

How come when I select the envelope size which matches my envelopes and set
the margines for placement of address and return address it never seems to
print correctly. It is always way off. I am using a standard number 10
envelope...I have measured it and it is correct so I am not sure why these
don't print correctly.

Most likely a diff in your printer drivers?
Are you using the #10 preset envelope of creating a
custom, or what? More info would help.

A Word template can only be configured correctly for one envelope size - see
http://www.gmayor.com/changing_envelope_layout.htm
There is an envelope template available for download from my web site which
you may find useful.

OK THIS IS WHAT I AM DOING- WHEN I AM DONE COMPOSING A DOC I HIT THE
ENVELOPE ICON TO CREATE AN ENVELOPE. THEN I ENTER IN THE ADDRESS FROM THE
ADDRESS BOOK SET THE OPTION SIZE TO 10 WHICH IS THE SIZE OF THE ENVELOPE I
AM USING. AS I LOOK AT THE PREVIEW I SEE THAT I DON'T LIKE THE PLACEMENT OF
THE ADDRESS AND RETURN SO I ADJUST THE TOP AND LEFT SETTING UNTIL I AM
PLEASED WITH THE APPEARENCE OF THE PREVIEW. I THEN SELECT PRINT, AND IT
DOESN'T PRINT AT ALL WHERE I CONFIGURED THE PLACEMENT OF THE ADDRESS AND
RETURN AT ALL. THEY TURN OUT TOO LOW OR TOO FAR TO THE LEFT EVEN THOUGH I
HAVE MOVED THEM. SEEMS LIKE THE PREVIEW DOESN'T WORK.
