Hello Eileen,
For printing envelopes, Pages has a number of templates, but I prefer to use
Contacts for this as it’s much more flexible.
When it comes to header styles, there are 3 levels provided by default, but you
can define as many as you like. You can set up to 8 short cuts for paragraph

Ann, Can you elaborate on printing envelopes via Contacts? I had no idea this
could be done. Envelopes is about the only reason I use MS Word anymore and I’d
really like to be able to do this on the mac side more readily.

Label prints are best done from Contacts where you can select a whole group of
addresses to be printed. The instructions are in my previous message.
The only thing that Pages brings to envelopes is little logos to make them more

What is needed is an accessible version for MS Word on the Mac. Many of us must
use word for work and school, and need to be able to use it on the MAC.
I wonder why we can't get Microsoft to commit to giving an accessible version
as it has done on the IOs platform?

I will also use both systems as I do a lot of productivity stuff on the windows

of office on the PC.
