How Do I Create an Envelope Template in Office 2007

MrChooks · 07-05-2008, 04:58 PM

I have just got a new computer - old Dell has been consigned to the trash and I have just realized that I failed to save and transfer my Word templates for its old Office 2003

I have managed to recreate letterhead and invoice templates into Office 2007 from my old (saved & transferred) Office 2003 docs - BUT I cannot create my "envelope only" template.

This was simply a template that I selected as a new document where I could create an envelope without creating another document. It seems that I can only get an envelope in Office 2007 as an "Add to document" option.

Can someone suggest a way that I can simply create a template that is a single page envelope pls

What size?

Hi Peterhuang13

Envelope size is DL - but sometimes I need C4s -

My old envelope template would let me select different envelope sizes in "paper select".

What's wrong with adding document then printing it?

Often just need a neatly addressed envelope to put other stuff in that has not been created in Word

My old template was great - just jumped to it - typed the address and hit print - the envelope popped out of the printer with delivery address and return address already to go - I am a complete goose for not remembering that my templates were not stored in "My Documents" on the old machine
