Brian, so your saying it's a problem with Word 2010 and there's nothing
I can do to correct this problem, or are there things I can do other
than "adding to document" just to check the formatting?
At first, I thought there must be a simple fix but now your response is
discouraging because "adding to document" adds a tedious procedure that
shouldn't have to be.

Hello Mario,
I am using Word 2013 but I am quite sure that Word 2010 is the same for the
following information. Word uses different styles when creating envelopes
than those used in your document. There is an "Envelope return" style and a
"Envelope address" style. JAWS does not give the correct information when
working in the address edit boxes in the Envelopes and Labels dialog box.
You will get the correct info if you use the Add to Document button in the
dialog box. The envelope info will be added above the letter in the
document. If you use JAWS key with F in the return address and the mail to
address in the addresses added from the dialog box to your document you will
get the actual font, font size, etc. reported. You will need to delete that
info from your document if you insert it above your letter to check out the
formatting used in the styles. In Word 2013 for a size 10 envelope the
Envelope Return style uses Calibri Light 10 point, in the Envelope Address
style Word uses Calibri Light, 12-point, black on white, etc. The Envelope
Address is indented two inches from the left and the return address is
left aligned, which is the opposite directions when written in the document.
These styles can be modified using the modify button in the styles dialog
box or by using the options button in the Envelopes and Labels dialog.
However, the font size, spacing, etc. was created in the templates to best
fit the size of the envelope being used.
Take care.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] failing of Word 2010
using Word 2010, I am wanting to make an envelope to mail something but
something puzzles me. I can type out the delivery address just fine, and
when it gets printed, I get someone to take a look at it and they tell me it
looks funny.
but when I use the insert+f on the delivery address edit box I hear:
point,
black on white,
Mixed font,
Mixed style,
Line spacing: Single,
Paragraph formatting: Aligned left.
I know how to set the font size and text/background color, but what about
"mixed font" and "mixed style". where are these adjusted, or can they be
adjusted? why is the point size not being reported as 14 as I've set it, or
why is the font name not being reported as Ariel?
is this a failing of Word 2010, or is there a JAWS quick setting that needs
to be tweaked?
