WD98: Return Address Does Not Print or Show on Envelopes Tab (193975)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition

This article was previously published under Q193975

SYMPTOMS

When you have added an envelope to your document, the following symptoms may occur:
  • When you print, the Return Address may not print on the envelope.

    -or-
  • When you click Envelopes and Labels on the Tools menu, the Return Address may not show on the Envelopes tab.

CAUSE

The insertion point is in the document text area. When the insertion point is in the document (and not in the attached envelope), the return address will not print or show on the Envelopes tab.

NOTE: To view the Envelopes tab, click Envelopes and Labels on the Tools menu.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, use the method appropriate to your situation.

Method 1: Place the Insertion Point in the Envelope

Before you print or view the Envelope tab, move the insertion point into the envelope that is attached to your document.

Method 2: Use the EnvelopeExtra1 AutoText for the Return Address

You can use an AutoText entry (EnvelopeExtra1) to add additional information to an envelope. The AutoText entry can be helpful for automatically including a company logo or other object or text in the return address on an envelope.

NOTE: The EnvelopeAddress1 AutoText will not show on the Envelopes tab, but when you add the envelope to a document, the Return Address (EnvelopeAddress1) will be added to the envelope and will print.
