Envelopes in a batch

Print addresses on regular envelopes, A batch at a time.

Format, envelopes

Place an address in the box you are addressing it to. Press the enter key 2 times and click inside the white box of the Postnet. The envelope will have a bar code printed on the envelope. Press Add it if you want it added to memory of the drop down list.

Press Append To Document.

Go to Format, Envelopes and repeat the procedure. Continue to Append To Document. This will keep adding envelopes. When you're ready. Print. All the envelopes will be printed, one at a time.

To just print one envelope, Don't Append To Document, just press Print Envelope.

You can also use your data file for printing envelopes.

Tools, Merge, Form, New Document Window

Associate your data file you have made already.

Format, Envelopes. Press Field, Place all the fields you want. Ensure you press enter to place the address, city, State, Zip on the appropriate lines. You won't be able to use the Postnet here. (At least I haven't been able to figure out how. Yet)

Press Append To Document

Press Merge... Merge... Ensure you have all your people checked by clicking on Reset. Or from here you an just pick some by pressing Mark Records, and select the ones you want. Problem, you can only view 100 at a time, unless you manually increase the amount of records to view. I called WP already on that one.

Press OK.. OK.

There. Now you have all your envelopes ready to print.



Envelope address from a letter and print both

Once your letter done or on the screen, you can create an envelope for it:

Choose Layout, Envelope.

The Envelope dialog now appears with the address already in place.



Envelopes automatically addressed

At the end of your document, as long as there is an address at the beginning somewhere, (could even be the second address), press Format, Envelope. The address is already there. If you want to have an envelope from an address, say from page 2, highlight the address, then press Format, Envelope.

Here would be a good time to use the new macro called envcaps that you would have added to your macro directory.



Blank lines in labels and envelopes for address

To delete the blank lines when merging address to labels or envelopes, you will need to insert a command called IFNOTBLANK.

On your form, position the cursor in front of the field that is often blank (such as the Company Name field).

Choose Merge Codes from the feature bar. Select IFNOTBLANK from the list. Double-click and select OK.

Now, move the cursor to the beginning of the next field, select Merge Codes and this time select ENDIF, Insert, Close, then save your form.
