Save a custom sized envelope "BK" <nospam[ at ]nospam.com> 12/19/2008 12:45:14 PM Using Windows XP-Media Edition and Office 2003 Is there a way to save a custom-sized envelope setting? I use the same custom size frequently because of my greeting card software, and I have to set the custom size every time I want to print an envelope. I set the envelope size through the envelopes and labels options, and I added it to the document hoping I could delete everything except the envelope and then save it as a template. Cannot seem to delete the blank page that follows the envelope when you use the "add to document" option. Then I just opened a new document and set the page size to the envelope size. But then the printing direction is wrong unless I create a text box. But then the envelope has to be fed into the printer differently than a regular envelope, and I'll probably never remember that. I'd just like to go into envelopes and labels, set a custom size, and save that size as a selection option for future use.
