Envelope default font

[The Wolf]

How do I set up a default font for Word envelopes.

Mail to: Helvetica 12
From: Helvetica 10

I have to choose this every time I open the program and it is annoying.

The default formatting for both the return address & the mailing
address are controlled by Styles: Envelope Return & Envelope Address,
respectively. If you want to make a permanent change modify the styles.

It doesn't seem to take? I click on apply?

Thank you.

After you modify each style, you have to check the "Add to template" box.
(Do not check the Automatically Update box).

Kinda makes you want to drop $90 on Apples "Pages" doesn't it?

No

I need the most powerful word-processor in the world, for my business.

Pages is nice for school projects, but it can't keep up with writing complex
technical manuals.

Then again, when I bought a motorbike, they "suggested" that I should learn
to ride it. They suggested that although "trial and error" was an
acknowledged human learning technique, it was "not suggested" for
motorcycling, due to the amount of pain the errors involved...

Cheers

No. How could Word read your mind to know that you want to make a
particular setting a default?

Or are you saying that "Add to template" is not very intuitive and that
"Make default" would be clearer. If that's it, you'll get no argument from
me .

Exactly, Mac software always seems to know what you want. Or makes is very
easy to change. Just my 2¢.

Why should one have to jump through nine hoops to make an envelope without
Bill's idea of a "cool" font?

I am still having problems here?

Is it "Possible" to set the To: as Helvetica 12 and the From: as Helvetica
10? Seems like it wants to make everything Helvetica 12
