Re: Word 2002 & MailMerge Envelope Printing

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Don't use the addressblock - it rarely works as you might require. Use the
individual fields.
Forget about the wizard - it is more hindrance than help. Use the merge
toolbar (see http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm ). It
might also help to start with an envelope document. You can download a
template from my web site that you could use as a start point. Set the merge
document type to envelope (or letters) and insert your fields in the frame.
If the cursor is jumping out of the frame, the implication is that there is
something amiss with the frame. You could try applying the Envelope Address
paragraph style to your address, which will put it in the right place, but
that would cause conflict with the original frame - which may then force a
blank envelope after each record.

have already tried these suggestions - I start out in the frame but
as soon as I insert either the address block or trying my own fields,
the firstname field, the cursor immediately pops out of the box and
back up to the left hand corner of the envelope. Still stumped.....

You are putting your merge fields on the page rather than in the
envelope address frame. This is the fault of the wizard.
If you display formatting (CTRL+* or click ¶) you will see the ¶ in
the middle of the envelope. Put your cusror on that to display the
frame. Enter your fields in the frame.

I used the wizard to set up the mailmerge for my envelopes, but it
wants to print them left justified at the top of the envelope
instead of the middle of the envelope (printing on envelopes that
have a return address already). I've looked at help and can't find
anything to show how to make it print the delivery address where it
should go - I've tried resetting the indent & down from top figures
to no avail. I'm stumped.
