Print an envelope when in Office Outlook 2007?

Ed Cryer

If so, how is this feat accomplished?
Thanks
That's a setting for your printer.
Do a print from Outlook, printer page comes up, something like
"Prefernces" and "paper type".
My Lexmark has several envelope types.

Not that simple!
Outlook offers limited output styles such as Memo
and doesn't offer the correct fields for printing an address on an envelope.
I usually end up copying and pasting right fields in to Word for printing.
If you have a lot to do you could create a mail merge in Word.
But this is an option that is sadly lacking in Outlook, even 2010.

Hi, Art.

In addition to the suggestions here, you might want to post your Outlook
questions in the not-quite-defunct newsgroup:
microsoft.public.outlook

The Microsoft public news server is closed, as you probably know, but many
other Usenet news servers still carry thousands of the microsoft.public NGs.
My own ISP carries them, from Giganews, I think. Perhaps aioe.org carries
them. Some are still quite active. ;<)

Don't buck the system; keep on doing that.

Still think Outlook should be able to perform a simple task like put a name
and address on an envelope.

In general, that's about as fast a way as any, especially if you have
desktop shortcut to open Word.

TWO applications to address an envelope, not what you call cutting edge.

Certainly useful but hardly worth it for a one or two-off envelope since
you have to arrange a folder with the addresses.

My own use of snail mail envelopes is mostly limited to those few
companies where sending a paper check is necessary (sometimes that
includes the US and State governments if I've lost the reply envelope.)
The Outlook Contacts list is available to me in Word.

I do remember that I had a letter template that was adjusted to put the
address below a transparent window in the envelope when I used snail
mail a lot with an old impact printer. I guess I've still not disposed
of all those window envelopes.

The art of getting the address correctly positioned in the transparent
window was mostly a question of folding the paper at the appropriate place.

In Outlook's defense, though, addressing envelopes seems to be
somewhat of a fringe case, wouldn't you say? I've been using Outlook
since about 1997 and have never considered using it to address an
envelope, nor have I heard anyone around me mention such a task. Word
is the usual tool for that.

I agree. We had various versions of Outlook at work from about 1995 (when it was bundled with Exchange Server) until I
retired in 2008 and never once had anyone ask me how to print an envelope from it.

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager, available both as a
separate application as well as a part of the Microsoft Office suite.
Although often used mainly as an e-mail application, it also includes a
calendar, task manager, contact manager, note taking, a journal and web
browsing.
Those with the stand alone product do not have access to Word, and Word has
nothing to do with contact management.
Outlook is the place addresses are stored and they should be available for
use without starting a second application.
I have also been using Outlook since 1997 and can say that having to address
envelopes is quite a common task for a lot of people.

Just a half hour ago I found a good use for a window envelope.

I had gotten a kazoo as a party favor recently, but it was dirty, and in
trying to clean it I messed up its diaphragm.

I just replaced the diaphragm with a piece cut from an envelope window.
It worked.

Hey, I had fun :)

I didn't bother following kreed's troubles with Outlook and envelopes,
because it didn't seem worth the effort to find his replies in his WLM
posts. But ISTM that using Word is fine - that's one of the things one
does with word processors, not with calendars and e-mail programs :)

Prat. Maybe you should stick to playing the Kazoo.
It wasn't me that raised the question, I was only expressing an opinion.
Contact Management would suggest one should be able to manage one's
contacts, and contact them using whichever medium one chooses.

Not much call for it. FWIW, Outlook doesn't support semaphore or smoke
signals either.

Actually, that was my biggest complaint about it.

Luckily, it worked with the US Navy signal flags.
