SYMPTOMS
If you modify the envelope delivery or return address by changing the From
Left or From Top settings in the Envelope Options dialog box, the change
you make is not retained between documents.
To locate the From Left and From Top settings, click Envelopes And Labels
on the Tools menu, select the Envelopes tab, and then click Options.
RESOLUTION
To make a permanent change to an envelope address position, you must modify
the Envelope Address or Envelope Return style. To do this, follow these
steps:
- On the Format menu, click Style.
- In the List box, select All Styles.
- In the Style box, select Envelope Address (or Envelope Return).
- Click Modify.
- To make the change permanent, click the Add To Template check box.
- Click Format and select Frame from the list that appears.
- Under Horizontal, change the Position setting to a numeric distance from
the margin by typing in a number.
For example, if you want your delivery address to be positioned 1 inch
to the right of the margin, type 1.0 in the Horizontal Position box.
- Under Vertical, change the Position setting to a numeric distance from
the top margin by typing in a number.
For example, if you want the delivery position to be positioned 3 inches
down from the top margin, type 3.0 in the Vertical Position box.
- Click OK twice and then click Close to close the dialog boxes.
If you now click Envelopes And Labels on the Tools menu and click
Options, the From Top and From Left settings will be the settings
that you specified.
By following these steps, you are applying a frame to the delivery or
return address. Modifying the style by applying only indents to the style
does not allow your changes to be retained between documents.
