Envelope's default settings
Hello,
I am using Word 2003 and I would like to change the default settings for the envelopes. I Figured out how to change the default font and size, but I would also need to change the position of the text zone containing the address. I would like it to be a littlbe bit higher and a little more to the left. I do not want to create a new template, because I need to use it with multiple lettre templates that already exist. Thanks in advanced for your help. -- Sallie |

Envelope's default settings
The position and size of the address area are controlled by the settings of
a frame that's part of the definition of the Envelope Address style. To change them, you modify the style. Click Format Styles and Formatting to open the task pane. At the bottom, choose All Styles. Right-click the Envelope Address style and choose Modify. In the Modify Style dialog that appears, check the box for "Add to template" so the change will be saved in Normal.dot. Then click the Format button at the bottom left and choose Frame from the menu. In the Frame dialog, by default the horizontal position is Centered relative to Page, and the vertical position is Bottom relative to Margin. You can type numbers into the Size or Position boxes to set absolute positions. For example: The default frame is 5.5" wide, so on a US #10 envelope that leaves 2" to the left and right. You could make the frame wider and leave it centered, or you could type 1.5" into the horizontal position box to move the frame 0.5" to the left. Similarly, you could make the frame taller than its default 1.38" while leaving it aligned to the bottom, or set it to something like 1.5" relative to the (top) margin. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
