Word 2000 Help has the answer to this question. When you copy text between Word documents, the formatting that Word applies depends on the selection you copied. We also took note that when you copy text formatted with a specific paragraph style to a document that contains a style with the same name, the text will take on the formatting of the style in the destination document. There may be situations when your contact manager or accounting program does not print an envelope of a size and with a font to your liking. A couple of caveats are to be noted.
All parameters are dependent on the user s printer and the direction in which the envelopes are fed.
Some experimenting will be necessary. First, go to the Page Setup in the File menu. Under the Margins tab, set the Top and Left margins to .3 and .8 inches in order to get the Return Address as close to the edge as possible. Choose Custom size, if you want to set your own dimensions, as in a birthday card. Selecting the orientation is printer dependent, so be ready to use several sheets of paper while testing your new form.
