Envelope delivery address

[KPaul]

I can't get Word to automatically fill in the delivery
address unless I highlight the address first. I've seen
other computers display a default address based on where
the cursor is place in the main document. I'm trying to
avoid highlighting step.

Hi KPaul,

I can't get Word to automatically fill in the delivery
address unless I highlight the address first. I've seen
other computers display a default address based on where
the cursor is place in the main document. I'm trying to
avoid highlighting step.

Word is picky about what it will and will not pick up for
the delivery address. Basically, if it's not at the left
margin, and the lines aren't separated by paragraph marks,
Word won't recognize it automatically.

The only way I know of to force this, all the time, without
highlighting the text, is to select that text and assign it
the bookmark name: EnvelopeAddress

Then it won't matter WHERE the insertion point is, it could
be fifty pages further down.
