WORD 97 - ENVELOPES

[Gerry Atrick]

I am using Word 97. Is there any way to change the line spacing when using
the TOOLS/Envelopes and Labels option, please? I can see how to change
Font, and how to set the offset from left and top in Delivery Address etc.
but I cannot see any line spacing option.

Right-click on the address in the Envelopes dialog and choose Paragraph. You

Hi Suzanne - that is exactly the sort of advice I was looking for, but
regrettably on my version of Word it does not work. In the Labels section
of the dialog box it does work, but in the Envelopes section the only
options available when I right click are CUT, COPY , PASTE and FONT.
Thanks nevertheless - always nice to hear from you.

Hmmm - please Miss, may I ask how to do this? Can't find a style called

Envelope Address. Oh dear, will I never get on top of Word?

On the Format menu, select Style. In the Style dialog, make sure that "All
styles" is selected, then scroll down to Envelope Address. Click Modify,
then Format | Paragraph and make your desired changes. Be sure to check the
"Add to template" box if you want this modified style used in all new
documents.

It's actually simpler in Word 97 (where you can still easily access the
Format Style dialog) than in Word 2002/2003, although I recently discovered
that in Word 2003 at least, Style... (which accesses the dialog) is on many
of the context (shortcut, right-click) menus.

Well,that answers another question I have been asking myself recently -
should I upgrade to a more modern version of Word? Think I'll stick to the
simple version.

Word 2003 is vastly superior to Word 97 in many ways, but the UI is quite
different. If you want simple, you may want to wait for Office 12, which has
totally revamped the UI to make Word's features more easily discoverable.
