from the pop-up menu. (Note: If you click on a misspelled word, a
different menu appears.)
2) Then from the Paragraph Style dialog, you can make changes to
the font name, the font size, the indents, and other attributes.
Printing envelopes
Instead of printing mailing labels, you may wish to print directly onto
envelopes. There are two basic ways to create envelopes, one where
the envelope is embedded within a letter, generally as the first page
(Insert in the Envelope dialog box), and another where the envelope is
an independent document (New Doc. in the dialog). In each case the
addressing data may be manually entered, for example by copying and
pasting from the letter with which it is associated, or it may originate
within an address data source.
This section assumes the use of an address data source and, for
convenience, a free-standing envelope.
The production of envelopes involves two steps, setup and printing, as
described in this section.
Setting up envelopes for printing
1) Click Insert > Envelope from the menu bar.
2) In the Envelope dialog box, select the Format tab (Figure 306),
where you can select the envelope format to use. You can then
arrange the layout of the envelope to suit your requirements,
together with the character and paragraph attributes to be used
in the Sender and Addressee areas. These attributes are accessed
using the Edit buttons to the right of the dialog, next to the word
Format .
Tip
At this stage it is not possible to vary the dimensions of the
frames that will hold the Sender and Addressee information, but
once the envelope has been created this will become possible
and you may wish to make some cosmetic adjustments.
