[gui-talk] creating an envelope in Word

[Arliedog]

It is so easy to just use the standard Word functions to make envelopes.  To 
make it real easy just create a word document with all the addresses you 
normally need envelopes for.  Then when you need a envelope for one of your 
entries just open the address book document arrow down to the address you 
want to use use the shift down arrow to select each line of the address. 
Now go to the toos menu then letters and mailings then envelopes and labels. 
The address you highlighted is in the to field and you tab to the return 
address and type in your return address.  Tab to print and hit enter.  Word 
will ask you if you want to save the return address for future uses.  Tab to 
yes or no which ever you desire and tab to ok.  You will then return to your 
address book document where you can select another or close it.

> so
> the paper size is the same dimensions as your envelope.
>
> To do that, click File>>Page Setup. Select the Paper tab. Click the Paper
> Size box and scroll through your choices. Envelope #10 is a standard-sized

> envelope. This is probably what you want.
>
> The dimensions for all paper sizes are in the Height and Width boxes. In 
> the

>
> If you don't see a size that suits your need, select Custom. Then, enter 
> the
> height and width in inches in the respective boxes.
>
> Next, select the Margins tab. Change the document orientation to 
> Landscape.
> That will fix the transposed dimensions for Envelope #10.
>
> Also, adjust the margins. Specify your margins for the top, bottom, left 
> and
> right. Click OK.
>
> If your margins are too small, you will receive a warning message. That's
> not a problem. Click Fix; Word will adjust the margins for you. The 
> margins
> will
> be set as small as possible. Click OK after Word fixes the margins.
>
> Now, switch to Print Layout View (View>>Print Layout). The document looks
> like an envelope. This will help you position addresses.
>
> You probably want to put your return address on your envelope. Also, you

> stationery.
>
> To add a picture, click Insert>>Picture>>From File. Navigate to your
> picture, highlight it and click Insert.
>
> Once you have customized your envelope, you're ready to save it as a
> template. A template is a document upon which other documents are based.
>
> To save the template, click File>>Save. Name it. In the "Save as type" 
> box,
> click the down arrow. Select Document Template (*.dot).
>
> Word will automatically try to save the document in the Templates folder.
> Don't do that; it will take you forever to find it.
>
> Instead, save it to the Desktop. Use the "Save in" box to navigate there.
> Click Save.
>
> To use the template, double-click it. That will open a new envelope.
