Question on printing addresses?

Did anyone print the addresses directly on the envelopes, and how did you do this.

I have my addresses set up as labels in word, but I don't want to do them as labels.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

I did this. I had to put each envelope in individually

But did you have to type one, and then print it, type another then print?

yes. But I think there is a way to do it if you have the addresses in mail merge

I did it individually (by set actually) directly onto the envelopes. I wouldn't risk a mistake (misfeeding, etc.) unless you have a lot of extra envelopes to risk.

FH did it. He had the addresses in an Excel spreadsheet and from there was able to print one at a time. It just ran through the spreadsheet. BTW, we needed separate columns for name, street, town, state, and zip.

Do you go into mail merge for that, how do you set up the spreadsheet?

You can print them right on the envelope using Word.

Measure your envelopes
Go the Page Setup and change the width and height of the paper from 8.5x11 to your measurements.
Then under layout (in same window) change the Vertical alignment to 'center'. You cand also increase the top margin a little so it sits a little lower on the envelope.

Go back to the document page and pick the font style and size. Then center and bold. Type in the address and you should be good to go.

Before you print go to print preview and look at it and make adjustments if needed. I typed each address and then printed.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need anymore help.

I printed them onto the envelopes by creating a mail merge. When it asks what kind of merge document you want to create, just select 'envelopes'. Make sure you enter the correct measurements for your envelopes. I created the merge and then fed the envelopes through individually so that they fed properly.

shelzyp, i'll ask to ask FH how he did it. he came into work with me a few weeks ago and did it on the sunday i had to work. (big project, had to work the weekend.) i was so preoccupied with work that i have no idea what he did except that i know he used excel and printed directly from there. i'll ask him and let you know!
