I usually just address one envelope at a time. But I have a quarterly insurance payment and need to print 4 envelopes with the same address. Under Tools, Envelopes/Labels I fill out the Address. Print and the box goes away with my information. :rolleyes: You never get the Print box where you can select multiple copies. There’s a Options box in the Address Box but the only options are for envelope size and manual feed. Re-entering the address over and over again sucks and it’s error prone. Help please? ---

I typed in the envelope address the second time and selected/copied to Notepad. So I could just paste it for the other copies. But, I forgot to make the Font bigger. :smack: I’m not wasting 3 legal size envelopes just for a bigger font. By default Word uses a font size 12 for envelopes. Which is a bit too small for a legal envelope. I like to right click and change the Font size to 14. I did it on the first envelope and forgot on the other three. There’s got to be a way to print multiple copies of an addressed envelope. ---

Set up a document to print envelopes, and skip the Helpful Word Feature. That way, you have a whole doc full of the envelope addresses for repeat mailings, and far more control over the font, positioning, etc. ---

That jogged my memory. Thanks. Add to document saves the envelope as part of the document. It’s been a long time since I’ve needed to do that. You actually get a document with an envelope at the top and a blank page for the letter. ---

I use laser labels. Just way easier than trying to get envelope printing working. ---

> [@aceplace57](#): > > By default Word uses a font size 12 for envelopes. Which is a bit too small for a legal envelope. It’s really not too small. Mostly the address is going to be read by a machine and it can handle twelve-point text. ---

It looks small compared to my big ole sloppy handwriting. 😃 I guess for computer printing 12 is ok. I print off a couple sheets of return address labels every year. Use them on my bills and other letters that I mail. I hate filling out the return address on a bill by hand.
