Those need to be extracted specifically from the contact's information; I
made no attempt to do that, but Omar's modifications will allow for that.

You can set this in Word by selecting Envelopes... on the Tools menu. Once
you've selected the font/size for the addresses, and the position of each,
Word will use those settings. So while Omar's mods are useful if you've
never printed envelopes from Word, if you make the above changes you won't
have to futz with them again.
Actually, once you've set the parameters you usually want to use for an
envelope, including the return address information, this part of the
(original) script:
set m to m & "retaddr = Application.UserName & vbCr &
Application.UserAddress"
set m to m & return & "ActiveDocument.Envelope.PrintOut Address:=recep",
ReturnAddress:=retaddr, Size:=\"Size 10\""
can simply be replaced with this line:
set m to m & return & "ActiveDocument.Envelope.PrintOut Address:=recep"
The return address, as well as the selected envelope size, fonts, positions
of addresses, etc, will all use the default settings.
The only time it's necessary to change any of them is if you want something
different. E.g., you want to use a different return address, or a different
font. If you want a different envelope size, you would also need to specify
the positions where the addresses print; otherwise the settings for your
usual envelope may be used and it might not look right. The easiest way to
accomplish any or all of that would be to set things up in Word before-hand
rather than making extensive changes to the script.
Another option here is to have Word present a dialog for making these
settings; I'm working on that one. I'm also trying to figure out if it's
possible to directly access the address book in Word, in which case you
could bypass Entourage altogether.
