Printing Return Addresse Images In Microsoft Word

Writen by Ernestine Hill

If you're a writer looking for ways to work more efficiently, you might like to know that you can print custom logos and book images with your return address. Since most of own use or have access to a color printer and a good many of us use Microsoft Word as our word processing application, we probably bypass having our stationery custom printed. Whether you design your own logos and book covers or have them done, at some point you will want to scan them and use them on your correspondence.

Here's a neat way to print an envelope with your logo or book cover as part of your return address, every time.

1. Open a blank document in Word
2. Choose Tools, Envelopes and Labels
3. When the Dialog box opens, click the Return Address entry box and type your address.
4. Click Add to Document.
5. When the envelope appears in your Word document, click where you want the logo or book cover image to go and choose Insert, Picture From File.
6. Locate your image file and double-click it to insert it into the document.
7. Size and place the image as you wish.
8. Align it properly with the return address text by right clicking the image then choose Format Picture.
9. When the Format Picture dialog box opens, click the Wrapping tab.
10. Select the type of wrapping that looks best for your image. As a starting point choose Square, under Horizontal Alignment, click Right.
11. Click OK to close the dialog box and continue.
12. Select the image and choose Insert, AutoText, New.
13. When the dialog box opens, type: EnvelopeExtra1
14. Print the envelope page only by using Ctrl-P, Current Page to check and adjust image size.
15. Press OK. From now on, the image will appear as part of your return address.

To remove, delete EnvelopeExtra from your AutoText entries.

While we're on the subject of printing envelopes, here are two quick ways to print multiple copies of the same envelope.

Any time you print an envelope, you can immediately select Edit, Repeat Envelopes And Labels to print another copy. Even faster is using F4. F4 repeats an action. Once the first envelope starts printing, press F4 and insert another envelope. You can repeat the F4 printing process as many times as you wish.
