Printing Envelopes

[teeaich]

In trying to print envelopes on the Elite XL 608 using Microsoft Word
on an iMac with Leopard, I seemed to have lost or corrupted something.
When I select the name of the person's envelope from the list I have,
the envelope comes into view with its address as usual, but when I
select print, the preview box shows the envelope, but the address is
missing---completely blank. It will go through the printer, but will
be blank.

Try this:

Word | Preferences | Print--make sure "drawing objects" is checked. The
envelope tool puts the address in a text box, which is a type of drawing
object.

Daiya, Thank you so much- you are brilliant- I have been struggling with blank pages for over a year,when I tried to print envelopes, I even bought a new printer and updated the driver! This tip worked! Now maybe you can tell me how to print from Adobe Acrobar 6.0.2 Professional! I get nothing but a freeze whenever I try this.

Thanks so much for the solution to the blank envelopes.

Sorry Marge, we can't tell you *anything* until we know what version of
software and operating system you have.

When I print an envelope the printer prints 2 copies. I have to cancel print after each command. I am using the Xerox Phaser 6130. Any suggestions?

Thank you so much!! Such a simple solution. Have worked so hard to resolve this problem with zero results.
Now my invitations for my non profit events will have the appropriate appearance for our mission!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I have a similar problem printing envelopes. When I select a name and address, and then the "envelopes" command, I only get the first line (the name) in the envelope window. I assume it's a flaw in the program, and not anything that I'm doing.
And it's very annoying.

Try the suggestion I made to Michele - use Shift+Return to keep the address
block as a single paragraph rather than Return. If you provide details about
you versions & hardware it will help further evaluation of the problem.
