Would you expect to be able to print 271 envelopes in a Word merged file,
with no problems. I can print one at a time but when I send the whole
document to print, nothing happens. No error message, nothing.

What happens if you merge to a new document?

I should also mention, I saved it and am trying to print it from a different
PC an d printer. Are there any specific settings I should check. Or as I
was wondering perhaps it is just too big a job to ask it to print all at
once. What do you think?

271 pages should not be a problem. Does print preview show anything? If
nothing shows there it seems likley that you have some element of the text
hidden. If it does show, then it is possible that the printer is expecting
manual feed. Check the page settings of your document for the tray
configuration on the paper tab.

There are some envelope templates for download on my web site - create a
document from one as appropriate and add your merge fields and see if that
prints.

Thanks Graham
I had no idea there was so much support out there for Word users! I
consider myself fairly expert, but your site is just amazing - I didn't know
how much I didn't know. Thanks for the envelope templates, I downloaded them
for future use, but this document is for A2 size envelopes - that was a joy
in itself, as Word thinks it cannot print to that small an envelope, so I had
to use the work around I found somewhere on this site. I will check the
settings you mentioned and tinker with it a little more and see what happens.

Thanks for your help.
PS ht photos on your site also made me quite homesick, I am an Brit living

Thanks for the kind comments :)
As for the templates open and change the page setup to the next larger valid
size than the A2 size you require, then move the address frame to where it
needs to be to print correctly then save as with a new name.
As you probably gathered from my web site, I too am a Brit living abroad.
