I use envelope printing a lot. What I did is to create a couple of templates for the two size envelopes I use. I made a logo with draw with my return address, I adjusted the page size and wrote the field to be fill with mail merge, create also a couple of frames to add pictures or attn: and setup the printing features for my printer like format size, feeding tray, no duplex, paper: envelope etc. Then save it as template. Now I want to print an envelope and just look at templates click and done. If you want to go in that direction I can help you and even send you one of my templates. I do not know if I can attach a template to a message here if not I can e-mail. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
