From: RealGomer on 31 May 2010 07:17 Jeff's suggestion is basically what I used. A couple more hints. Get on of the window envelopes you intend to use and carefully measure where the LEFT and BOTTOM edges of the window are. Also measure the height of the envelope. The USPS is very picky about where address appear on envelopes and has been known to return mail if even a letter is not visible. Using these measurements, fold a sheet of paper in a Z-fold pattern. On the top portion, use the measurements you took from the envelope and transfer them to the paper. To keep the USPS happy, at least 1/10" to the bottom and left measurements. Insert the paper in the envelope to see how the marks you made show up in the envelope. Keep in mind the envelope is slightly wider than the paper and the paper will move around. Keep making adjustments, including folds, until everything is in the window. It's time consuming, but this will help get everything where it belongs when you place the address field on the master document for a mail merge. -- Für Elise - Support the Breast Cancer & Heart Foundations "Robert P Dudgeon" wrote: > I wish to add fold lines in the margin of a letter to help with folding so > the address appears in the window of the envelope.
