Mark – A lot depends on if your printer takes envelopes sideways or straight on. If it takes them sideways, you need to have FCII rel 2, which allows landscape printing under Project|Page Setup – when you set the Width to anything larger than 8.5 (9.5 for std. business envelopes), the program assumes you want landscape (yes, it's quirky, but it works). 8^| Set the Height to 4.2 to round it out. If you feed envelopes straight on (like my HP DJ500C), then go into Project|Page Setup and change the _Height_ to 4.2 inches (for a normal business envelope) – leaving the Width at 8.5 in. You then get a screen page the size of an envelope, and can type and align addresses to your hearts content. Something else I did was to set this up once, with all the margins, etc. positioned correctly, and save the file as ENVELOPE.BLANK or something like that. I suppose you could get really fancy and make a style to do it, or even program a macro to pull the address directly from a letter… ideas, ideas… Buzz me if you need any add'l help. 8^) – Rob.
