Creating or Modifying an Envelope in Works for Windows 3.0 (106675)

SUMMARY

There are two methods for creating and changing an envelope in Works 3.0. These two methods are described below.

METHOD 1: TOOLS MENU

This method is recommended if you are creating a new envelope document.

1. Create a new Word Processor document.
2. From the Tools menu, choose Envelopes And Labels.
3. Type the address or choose the Fields>> button at the bottom to add fields from a database.
4. Type a return address in the return address box or choose the Fields>> button at the bottom to add fields from a database.
5. From the Envelope size box, select your envelope size.
6. Choose the Create Envelope button.

NOTE: If your envelope size is not listed, choose the standard size 10 envelope. Then, choose Page Setup from the File menu and select the Source, Size and Orientation tab. Then, choose the down arrow next to Envelope Size and choose Custom Size, making sure to type the correct width and height of the envelope in their respective boxes.

METHOD 2: INSERT MENU

This method is recommended if you are changing an envelope that has already been created. However, it can also be used for creating new envelopes documents. The steps for each are outlined below.

Changing an Existing Envelope Document

1. Open your envelope document.
2. Place the cursor where you would like to insert additional fields.
3. From the Insert menu, choose Database Field and place the fields directly in the envelope document.

Creating a New Envelope Document

1. Create a new Word Processor document.
2. Type the envelope information or from the Insert menu, choose Database Field to add fields from a database.
3. Highlight all of the envelope information you just entered.
4. From the Tools menu, choose Envelopes And Labels.
5. From the Envelope size box, select your envelope type.
6. Choose the Create Envelope button.

OPTIONAL: If you will not be creating a form letter that contains the envelope information, delete the envelope information that is located on the main document below the page break.

NOTE: If you forgot to add a field(s) in the envelope after it is created, the best way to add the necessary fields is to place the fields directly into the envelope by choosing Database Field from the Insert menu. This is recommended because envelope formatting (such as bold, font sizes, clip art, and so on) will be lost if you simply highlight your fields and choose Envelopes And Labels from the Tools menu.
