Using Envelope layouts
The Envelope layout arranges fields for printing on standard business
envelopes. It includes a header.
Important Use an Envelope layout only to arrange and print data in a
format suitable for envelopes. You can’t add data to a database file using
an Envelope layout. To add data, use a different layout type.
Setting up to print on envelopes
Before you create an envelope layout, do the following:
1 Choose the printer (see “Setting up to print on labels” on page 3-12).
1 In the Page Setup dialog box, select US Letter (for U.S., or A4 for
elsewhere). Don’t choose an Envelope paper size.
1 If you feed the envelopes into the printer short-side first, choose a
landscape (horizontal) paper orientation. If you feed the envelopes
into the printer long-side first, choose a portrait (vertical) orientation.
Creating an Envelope layout
1. In Layout mode, choose New Layout from the Mode menu.
2. In the New Layout dialog box, for Type, select Envelope.
