You only can solve problems by coding if you can replicate the problem
and have identified the cause of the problem.
So the user should first test if he can print envelopes from other applications.
So let him export the file to PDF and see if he is able to print from Acrobat.
Other option is to check if he can print to another printer and he said printing
To his Epson printer worked fine.
My guess is the problem is with the installation of his printer.

The moral is “ Don’t fix what is not broken”

Julian:

YOU ROCK I set up a Template, as you suggested, and IT WORKED!!!

Thank you so much! You can't believe how much stress, aggravation and
swearing you have saved me! I wish I would have emailed you ages ago.

Now I don't have to buy Word. Or throw things off the balcony.

You are a star!

Cheers, Abbey

You need a colour printer to print BLOODY envelopes.



This is so frustrating! I did it once - obviously a fluke - and now I can't
manage to print one single envelope.

It comes out printing the wrong way(goes width wise instead of length) and
it started to print my letter...on the envelope!!


Normally it print only what you instruct the printer to print, so 
probably your instructions need a bit modified.




If you would kindly lay it out for me, step by step, how to do this, I
would be very grateful because


This depend much on the type of envelope you use.

For a blank envelope:
Create a new document and go to Insert -> Envelope..
The window that opens has tree tabs:
 - Envelope: for this example leave all fields blank
 - Format: here you can position the Addressee and Sender and the Size 
of your envelope
 - Printer: here you control the position and rotation of the address. 
Printer settings when entered will be saved in
   the document, so the next time you use the same document you don't 
need to redo all these steps.

When done click New, this will create a separate document.

For a window envelope:
I must admit that I don't see the logic as described in the 
documentation, it's hard to position the address block
with the previous method. So I insert a Frame which you can position 
exactly as you need.
In this frame you can type the addressee or insert database fields and 
do a mail merge.




  I am either going to throw my printer over
the balcony, or I will bite the bullet and buy Word.


You blame the software and throw away the hardware that doesn't make 
sense to me.




Thank you.

Abbey

Envelope printing is heavily dependent on the printer you have and how it feeds 
envelopes.  What works for me is to create a TEMPLATE for the envelope with the 
correct orientation [if the printer end-feeds the envelope, use landscape; 
otherwise portrait].  Set margins in the template - again depending on the 
above as well as to whether the envelope is centered or left-aligned in the 
printer.

A little bit of trial and error may be needed, but when you are done you will 
have a template that will last until you get a new printer or a new envelope 
size.

Good luck.
