Envelope settings in Word 97

[Dimtri Damos]

When I go to the envelope dialog box, it remembers my last envelope size and
the default return address, but nothing else. I want to customize font and
position. I can do it separately each time I open the dialog box, but I'd
like to change the defaults, so that my font and position are there ready
for me each time. I tried a macro without success, because it would end up
with an open dialog box. Is there a way?

Hi Dimitri,

the Envelope Address is a style and you need to use Format, Style, Envelope
Address to make the changes permanent. You'll find that Word places the
address inside a borderless frame, so I found the easiest way to make the
changes is to create an address, use the Add to Document button and then add
a border to the frame so that you can see exactly what is happening in Print
Preview whilst you play with the settings to get everything as you want it.

I found the important settings were to the Frame settings: to give you a
'head start', these are the frame settings that I find perfect for DL
envelopes (close to size 10)...

Wrapping: none
Width & Height: Auto
Horizontal: position 6 cm relative to Margin
Vertical: 4cm relative to page with Lock Anchor and Move with Text boxes
cleared.

Don't forget to check that 'Add to Template' button to get it to save the
changes permanently.
