Envelopes - address positions limits - Word 2004

Craig Hiebert

Task: position the return address in all envelopes to appear *below* an
existing 'letterhead' on the envelopes.

Problem: Using the Tools/Envelopes tool to set up an envelope, you can use
the 'Position' button to adjust the position of the Text Box that will hold
the address in the finished envelope. *Unfortunately*, these position boxes
appear to have limits imposed on them: 1.25" in the Vertical position for
the Return Address, for example. Try typing anything the slightest bit
larger, and the dialog snaps back to 'Auto', i.e., just below the top
margin. You *could* choose to 'Attach envelope to document' and then
manually reposition the text box, but I'm hoping for a way to automate this.

Questions: Any way to access the 'template' that the Envelopes Tool uses to
set up envelopes (i.e., change the top margin in the template and the
problem goes away)? Or, any way to change the (seemingly arbitrary) limits
placed on the 'Positions' dialog in the Tool itself?

Thanks in advance...
