When you click Envelopes and Labels on the Tools menu, the Return Address may not show on the Envelopes tab.

CAUSE

NOTE: To view the Envelopes tab, click Envelopes and Labels on the Tools menu.

WORKAROUND

Use the appropriate method to work around your particular situation.

Method 1: Place the Insertion Point in the Envelope

Before you print or view the Envelope tab, move the insertion point into the envelope that is attached to your document.

Method 2: Use the EnvelopeExtra1 AutoText for the Return Address

You can use an AutoText entry (EnvelopeExtra1) to add additional information to an envelope. The AutoText entry can be helpful for automatically including a company logo or other object or text in the return address on an envelope.

NOTE: The EnvelopeAddress1 AutoText will not show on the Envelopes tab, but when you add the envelope to a document, the Return Address (EnvelopeAddress1) will be added to the envelope and will print.
