Saving Labels and Envelopes

[Rich Bail]

After typing a label or envelope address and then printing it, the prior
typing is gone and the 'Envelopes and Labels' option closes. Any typos
discovered (and I make quite a few) requires reopening it and retyping.

Any way to HOLD the typed entry until I choose to close, as is the mode on
all other WORD as well as other MS programs. Your suggestion that I improve
my typing and editing is not required. I KNOW. I KNOW!

There's no way to do exactly what you want, but you can try this workaround:

1. Type the address in a blank document. Select it.

2. Open Tools | Envelopes and Labels.

3. The address you typed will already be entered in the envelope/label pane.

This will work indefinitely, as long as you have the address in the
document. But I would suggest more careful proofreading before printing to
prevent wasted envelopes and labels.

Being dyslexic myself I understand your last line.

I would suggest that you use either Word's address book or use Outlook
contacts to create your addresses. That way you only have to type them once
and correct them they are reusable which saves you time.

As far as labels create the labels and save the document.
