EnvelopeExtra1 on a network?

[Guest]

Hello all. I have a network where all of the users are on Word 2003. We
have recently decided to add a logo to the return address and would like to
have all of the users use the logo return address. However, rather than go
to each workstation and update the EnvelopeExtra1, is there a way we can
update the network template folder so that only one EnvelopeExtra1 gets
added to the network and everyone automatically uses it when printing a
return address?

We already have a network shared template folder where all of the
workstations have access to the templates.

Thanks in advance for any help.

You could put it in an add-in template and share the startup folder - but
you would still have to point all users to that startup folder.
or
If users are using shared letterhead templates to create the documents - put
the autotext in the letterhead template that the letters will be created
from.
or
The best solution in my opinion is to give them a shared envelope template
with the logo already placed and create new envelopes from that. There are
some samples to download from my web site, with code based on
http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm This means abandoning the
envelope/labels wizard for producing envelopes.

This is an AutoText entry. You can use a global template to distribute and
update these. Or you can put them in your document template(s) that are used
to generate your envelopes. Such templates go in a workgroup templates
folder. For more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new
dialog, and locations of templates folders see
