Word 2002: Adding a single envelope

In earlier versions of Word IIRC you could (optionally) select an
address within the document then do something like Tools-Add Envelope
et voila! Word would add an envelope to the top of the doc complete with
the selected text. However, it doesn't appear to be that simple in Word
2002.

Searched Word Help and followed the instructions but the dialogue that
appears is different to the one described in Help.

Help says:

On the Tools menu, point to Letters and Mailings, and then click
Envelopes and Labels.
Click the Envelopes tab.
In the Delivery address box, enter or edit the mailing address.

[similar for the Return address]

Except the dialogue doesn't have a text box for the Delivery or Return
addresses.

To print the envelope now, insert an envelope in the printer
as shown in the Feed box, and then click Print.
To attach the envelope to the current document for later editing
or printing, click Add to Document. The envelope is added to the
document in a separate section.

Again, the dialogue doesn't have Print or Add To Document buttons.

So, how do I do it?

TIA

Parish

It is still the same - though maybe in a different place.
Tools letters & mailings envelopes and labels
If the envelope and labels command isn't on the toolbar it is easy enough to
add from tools customize.

I've found that (sorry, didn't make it clear in my original post), but
the dialogue that appears when you select it different, i.e. lacking
"features", to the one that is described in Help.

Here's the dialogue I see (both tabs)....

http://users.nildram.co.uk/~parish/e...e_dialogue.jpg

There are no text boxes for the addresses on the Envelope Options tab
and no Print and Add To Dcoument buttons on the Printing Options tab.

You have gone a window too far. From the dialog that you chose Options -
there's an option Add to Document.. I'd post a web link but my provider is
having some problems this week.

Those screen shots show the Envelope Options dialog. What you want is the
basic Envelopes and Labels dialog, which has not changed. If you are not
seeing Letters and Mailings | Envelopes and Labels on your Tools menu, then
perhaps you have adaptive menus enabled. Open Tools | Customize, select the
Options tab, and check the box for "Always show full menus." To make the
dialog more accessible, select Envelopes and Labels from the Tools category
on the Commands tab of Tools | Customize and drag it to a toolbar.

No, that's the dialogue that appears when I select Tools-Letters &
Mailings-Envelopes and Labels.

I've just been reading the Help again and it says that one of the tabs
should be "Envelopes", but I don't see that.

Searching the 'net I found this

in a tutorial at

Is that what you are saying I should see (fits the description in Help)?
If so, then I don't :-(

Thanks for your help.

really braindead, then this is the option from the Tools menu that you

Never mind what it says in help. The option you want is in the dialog Tools
letters & mailings envelopes and labels. There is a row of buttons on the
right - one of which you clicked to get options. The one you want is Add to
Document. It was ever thus.

That's what I'm selecting, http://users.nildram.co.uk/~parish/tools_menu.jpg

But I don't see a dialogue with an Options button, the Envelope Options
dialogue is what appears _when I select_ Tools letters & mailings
envelopes and labels.

It was ever thus.


Hmmm, I wonder if Word is broken on my machine? Maybe I'll try
re-installing it :-(

There is certainly an intermediate dialog. If yours is missing, you may have
a minor registry corruption. See
