Hi Again Jay,
Just to let you know that your answer worked a treat :-) and so did my "Daft
Idea".
All I did was load up word as normal and go to File>Page Setup>Margins and
set the margins for a DL 10 envelope as follows, Top = 10cm, Bottom = 0cm,
Left = 0cm & Right = 7.5cm. Set Orientation to Landscape, Apply to whole
document, and click ok. When you click ok Word will tell you that one or more
of the margins are set outside the printable area of the "page" just click on
ignore key.
Set your tabs where you want your clip art to be inserted and away you
go.When you press "Print" Word will again tell you about the margins been
outside the printable area and asks you if you want Word to "Fix" or "Ignore"
again click on Ignore, all that you have to remember is not to put your
graphic in the central "Address Area" of the envelope.
You can of course save the Front and Back page settings if you intend to
print more of the same envelopes at a later date.
I hope that all made sense :-)
Kindest Regards,
Alasdair.
