WD97: Envelope Address Moves After Canceling Font Changes (170905)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q170905

SYMPTOMS

When you have an envelope added to your document and you then use the Envelope Options dialog box to modify the font attributes of the delivery address, the delivery address may move up near the return address if you cancel the Envelope Options dialog box.

CAUSE

Canceling the Envelope Options dialog box resets the formatting of the delivery address and removes the frame that is used to position the delivery address. With the frame removed, the delivery address becomes positioned near the return address.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, install Microsoft Word 97 for Windows Service Release 1 (SR-1).

To work around this problem, reapply the Envelope Address style to the delivery address and have the delivery address return to the correct position. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Select the delivery address.
  2. On the Format menu, click Style.
  3. In the List drop-down box, click All Styles.
  4. Click the Envelope Address style.

    NOTE: If you want to change the font of the delivery address, follow these steps:
    1. From the Click the Modify button.
    2. Click the Format button and then click Font.
    3. Change the font.
    4. Click OK twice and click Apply.
