If the Return Address Omit option is selected in the Envelopes And Labels
dialog box, and you are performing a print merge to envelopes, the return
address is still included. (To locate the Return Address Omit option,
choose Envelopes And Labels from the Tools menu, and select the Envelopes
tab.)
WORKAROUNDMethod 1: Remove the Return Address
To remove the return address for all subsequent envelopes, regardless of
the creation method, follow these steps:
- On the Tools menu, click Options (Word 6.x, 7.x) or Preferences
(Word 98 Macintosh Edition).
- Select the User Info (Word 6.x, 7.x) or User Information (Word 98
Macintosh Edtion) tab.
- Clear the Mailing Address box and click OK.
You can now perform the print merge without printing the return address.
To remove the return address for the current print merge only, follow the
steps for setting up a print merge envelope, but before performing the
print merge, edit the main document by selecting the return address and
deleting it. Continue with the print merge as usual.
Method 2: Change the Return Address Font Color
Alternatively, you can set the return address font color to white without
having to delete your Mailing Address or edit the merge document. To change
the return address font color:
- On the Tools menu, click Envelopes And Labels.
- Select the Envelopes tab.
- Click Options.
- Click Return Address Font.
- Select White for the font color.
- Click OK twice.
STATUS
