The action makes it possible to print multiple copies of the envelope; if you click 'Print' from this window, you'll only be able to print one copy. Click the 'File' menu and then click 'Print.'
You'll notice immediately that the dialog box you get is actually for both Envelopes and Labels. Depending on whether you clicked on Envelopes or Labels on the Mailings tab, the correct tab on this dialog box will be selected by default.
However, you can always click on the other tab if you've changed your mind. But what you want to know right now is how address an envelope. By default, you could simply type something in the Delivery address field, put your return address in the indicated field (if it's not there already, which it would be if you'd saved it there, in which case, you may not even need this tutorial), and hit the Print button. And most of the time, that'll work just fine.
Note: Word will actually insert the address for you if you have your cursor right before the address. Going back to the Envelopes and Labels dialog box, we see that we have two options for producing the envelope: Print and Add to Document. Clicking on Print, obviously, sends the envelope straight to the printer. Clicking on Add to Document inserts a page at the top of your document formatted as an envelope. One of the advantages of doing Add to Document is that you can go back and change the envelope if you need to. A disadvantage, however, is that you have to be careful how you print the document, particularly if the envelope has to be manually fed and the remainder of the document does not.

Experiment and figure out which works best for you and your particular setup. Is there a way to.insert. a label at a certain cell on a page of, say, 30 labels of addresses already filled in? Also what are best practices for printing labels? Can you buy label printers to sit on desks?

We re-use pages of 10-up labels for everyday one-off address labels, file labels, etc. And it just seems clunky, sometimes.figuring out which ones are still available for printing, getting the Word doc to line up with that, etc. Not sure if this makes sense and of course it’s not a Huge Deal. I can explain better if yr intersted. I have added a button for “create envelope” on my quick access bar (customize toolbar/more commands/all commands/envelopes). When I am in my letter, I can just hit the button and most of the time it sees and grabs the address block properly and sends it to the envelope/labels window and then I hit enter and it is on its way to the envelope feeder on my printer.
Another option is to highlight the address block and then click the button and the same thing – it opens the envelope/labels box and I just hit enter – and away goes the envelope (which are letterhead, No. 10 envelopes by default for me). If I need to change the envelope size, or create a label, same thing – just click the button on the quick access toolbar! I would adjust the internal margins of the label (I’m able to select 8164 in my copy of Word 2007, so if you cannot, you may need an update). On the Layout tab of the Table Tools ribbon, there is a section on the right called alignment. The left-most button is Cell Margins. Click that, then adjust the margins (probably just the top margin) to fit your print area to make room for the return address.
You may need to make a template for your preprinted labels so you don’t have to do this every single time you print labels – I don’t see anything in the label customization itself that would store an internal margin. Maybe this will be covered in part 2, but I run a small biz and we’re trying to use avery 5264 labels for everyday mailings (sheets of 6).
Ideally, I want to design the label to be custom, with our logo and return address, and print those out and have them ready when we want to use them individually. I can do that right now, no problem. What I can’t do is easily print an individual label using my now custom pre-printed labels, and line up the mailing address below my own logo and return address. Have looked on the internet to no avail.
Using Office/Word 2010. I get the info for how to print a single envelope, but I cannot find info on how to use a list of people/addresses and print a whole bunch of envelopes with that list (for instance, names & addresses on envelopes for my Christmas letter mailing). I use Word 2007 and got to the point of creating a list of recipients I put in 30. But, I couldn’t find anywhere to save the list in preparation for printing out the envelopes and now can’t find the list. How and where on the computer do I save such a list??? Courtesy of (because I’ve not seen this before): 1.
Open Outlook. Open Outlook’s Contacts folder. Go to View Arrange By Current View By Location. Scroll down until you see the first record with United States of America in the Country/Region column. Delete United States of America from the Country/Region cell of that record. Select all remaining records with United States of America in the Country/Region column.
Click the Country/Region cell of one of the selected records and drag it to the empty Country/Region cell created in step 5. That’s probably not double-spacing your boss is seeing — that’s extra spacing before/after paragraphs. (Sounds like a semantic difference, I know.) Select the text you’ve just pasted and go to the Page Layout tab and look for a section called Paragraph over to the middle-left of the Ribbon.
In that section, make sure that both the boxes under “Spacing” have “0 pt” in them (you can either type “0” straight in or use the down arrow to increment the number down). That should solve the problem. Longer term, you may want to change the spacing setting on the Normal text style to make sure that doesn’t happen again. My coworker and I are both using Word 2010 for printing mailing addresses on envelopes.
Mine defaults to “Auto” for both the “From Left” and “From Top” choices in the Envelope Options dialog box. This makes it print in the correct location. My coworker’s does not default to those settings for the two positions specific for delivery addresses.
She has to manually change them to “Auto” each time she prints an envelope. I’ve tried to find a way to make hers use that as the default, but I’ve been unsuccessful in making her program keep those settings. Any suggestions?

Hi Bob, Wondering if you can trouble shoot this one! I tried to print out an envelope (Word/Office for Mac) on my printer; I've printed fine when the envelope was part of a document but this time I created.only. an envelope; for some reason a blank page printed-no envelope. The settings I used in 'printer' settings were as above (my presets) but I did choose 'envelope' in 'Tools'. Is there something else I should be doing?
New question split by moderator from this question. A few questions/thoughts.
Are you using Tools-Envelopes.? If so, when you click Print., Word should create an envelope-sized document, then display the print dialog in front of it.
This can vary between OSX versions, but assuming you see the same dialog as I see on Mavericks. Have a look at the preview.
If you check 'Show Quick Preview,' do you see any text on the preview? If you cancel the print dialog, can you see text on the envelope? If there is text on the envelope, but not in the preview, you should at least ensure that Word-Preferences-Print-'Drawing objects' is checked - the address and return address are inserted using text boxes which will not print if this is unchecked. If you cannot see any text on the envelope, it is possible (though unlikely) that you have chosen text box positions that mean the text is not actually within the boundaries of the page. Other things I would do as troubleshooting steps include a. Verify the font isn't white b. Print/save as PDF and see what appears on the PDF c.
In the Print dialog, check through the various options (here, they are on the dropdown under 'Presets' and have names like 'Copies and Pages', 'Microsoft Word', 'Layout' etc., looking for settings that may cause problems. For example, printing only even numbered-pages in the Microsoft Word settings causes blank output here, when arguably there should be no output. This Phil here: To create an envelope only. Open word create the address in the document. Now select the entire entire address.
Next go to tools menu and to Envelopes. when window open click Page setup. Choose desired Envelop and set orientation of envelope as needed. Click Okay.
Now verify information is correct, print a test envelope. Try opening the flap and bend back and forth so it will lay flat.
If you have an HP inkjet usually you lay face down wit bottom of envelope against the right edge of the paper tray. Print envelope if its correct your good to go.If not then you need to set orientation and lay face up or face down according to your printer specifications. You will need to do this each time you change to different envelop styles. But if you settle on one envelope style and stay there you don't have to set this again.
Only when you change envelope types do you have to go through set. Click Okay and you will go back to a document style view. Adjust the Margins as necessary.
Then print.

Hi Peter and Phil, Thanks a million for your replies but for the moment I've decided to use my old Windows Vista PC at work and use my Mac at home (no printer there:). I will however have a go and see if your recommenations work (Peter: I'm quite sure the font colour wasn't white but that's a great observation:); I'll experiment when I have a spare week-end day to come in to work and just play around with the printer and Mac; I just wanted to say thanks for the responses.
I've given up on some things with my Mac-they just seem too complcated and not so user-friendly as compared to my Windows Vista.
