Normally, when you want to create an envelope manually (instead of having Word create it from the address in your letter), you choose Add to Document from the Envelopes and Labels dialog box if you don't want to print it immediately. But what if you want to do several envelopes (not enough to justify a merge) before you send them to the printer across the office where you have to manually feed them in the printer?

The objective is to get all your envelopes in one document and then send them to the printer. However, Word insists on changing the first envelope if you choose Envelopes from the Mailings tab of the ribbon again. Here's how to get around this problem:

1. Display the Mailings tab of the ribbon.
2. Click the Envelopes tool in the Create group. Word displays the Envelope tab of the Envelopes and Labels dialog box. (See Figure 1.)
3. Use the controls in the dialog box to specify how your envelope should look.
4. When finished, click on the Add to Document button.
5. Display the Page Layout (Layout in Word 2016) tab of the ribbon.
6. Click the Breaks tool (in the Page Setup group) and then choose Next Page. Word inserts a section break.
7. Press Ctrl+Home to position the insertion point above the section break.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the next envelope.
9. Click on the Change Document button.
10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 for each additional envelope.

If you like to enclose your return address on the envelope, you can set this up before you begin functioning on the envelope. There are the following steps to print the envelope in word.

1. Go to Mailings > Envelopes, and enter delivery and return addresses.
2. Set the blank envelope in the printer tray.
3. Select the Print option.

Word keeps the address so that you can utilise it whenever you want to insert your return address in an envelope, label, or another document.

To print a custom envelope from Excel, follow these steps.

1. Step 1: Set up a document to match your envelopes
1. Go to Mailings tab, select Start Mail Merge > Envelopes
2. Go to Envelope Options dialog box, select your envelope size, font details, and placement of the delivery and return addresses
3. In the Envelope dialog box, in Printing Options, choose the paper feed option you want
4. Go to Page Setup dialog box, next to Orientation, and select Landscape, and then press OK
2. Step 2: Connect to your spreadsheet
1. On the Mailings tab, click Select Recipients > Use Existing List
2. Select the file to be used and then click Open
3. Go to Select Table dialog box, choose the sheet to be used, and press OK
3. Step 3: Add and format merge fields
1. Go to Mailings tab, choose Insert Merge Field. Choose the field you need to show on the labels
2. Keep adding fields till all information is added on labels. Press OK
3. Format your fields in 1st envelope so it looks like you want all your envelopes look like
4. Step 4: Preview and print the envelopes
1. Click Preview Results that show how the envelopes will look once printed. The arrows given on Mailings are used to scroll each envelope
2. Go to Mailings tab, and press Finish & Merge > Print Documents to print the envelopes

Not certain exactly the process in Word 2016 but most Word offerings include templates for various sizes of envelopes. These templates are either part of your software or you may have to go online to fetch them. They are normally free and once you use one it is a good idea to save it on your PC as a template for easy use later. If you can't save it as an internal template just save it as a document and call it Envelope-(size of envelope). You can then load it as a doc then edit the name & address then print it.

Before you load and use the template make sure your printer can handle envelopes. They are potentially 3 times the thickness of a single sheet of paper and can jam some older printers.

Once you load the template you just type in the address and then remember to load the envelope the correct way on your printer, normally front face down and open end to right of tray.

Hope this helps.

Your printer by default prints all pages. You have to set it to print individual pages or other custom print job. It’s possible that you have it set up to receive by manual paper feeds like if you want to print an envelope or with card stock paper or transparencies.

It is your printer that takes over when you press Print. Microsoft Word is not printing your document. It merely sends the open document to the printer which takes over so you can keep working on Word.

This depends upon your printer. I have an HP color laser printer. It is wireless on my network in my bedroom. (It also weighs 40 pounds and sits on a filing cabinet with castors.)

If your printer is only printing one page and you have more pages in your document then it is time to start troubleshooting your printer and possibly your network. My first guess is that you have run out of paper or there is a paper jam.

Is your printer a laser type or inkjet type?:

With my printer, sometimes I have something piled on it and have to remove it to do priming.

SUMMARY

It is normal and expected that your printer prints all pages. You can set your printer according to your printer dialog box that you fill out to run a print job. The exact details vary by your printer make and model. It is agreed that printers can be hard to work with. For me a laser type printer was a step up from inkjet types. It was 2014 I first purchased a color laser printer in fact. Toner is expensive but I had to buy new cartridges once in 2018. I mainly use it to print tickets or reward coupons. But it is there in case I want to design a poster or ad.

The dialog box that opens after you select Print from the File menu gives you the option of selecting the page, range of pages, or selected pages to print, and it also gives you the option of how many copies of those selected pages to print:

Envelopes are very crucial part of our lives, even today in the digital era. envelopes make sure that our messages are delivered safely.

Customized Envelopes play a main role in delivering not just our message but also awareness and creating brand identity. Envelopes are available in various sizes.

There are many online websites that help you print customized envelopes.

You can checkout, Printstop. you can checkout for yourself, they provide printing service on various other products as well. The main aspect to focus on when looking for customized tshirts is quality.

Hope this was helpful.

Thank you for the A2A. I’m not sure I understand your question correctly, but if you’ve got a very large image that won’t print on one page, I’ll share something I’ve done. Try grabbing the image and shrinking it while constraining the size (with the shift key) until it’s narrow enough to fit on one page. You’ll have to do this from the top left pulling down.

Select the shrunken image and copy it as is to the next page. Now you have two very small versions of the same image. On the first version, select the image and on the Picture Tools Format tab click on Crop.

Once you click on the Crop command, a set of black bars appears on the edges and in the corners of your image.

Grab the image from the bottom and push up to crop away the lower half of the image. The part of the image that you’re cropping will appear darker.

When you let go, the lower part of the image will be cropped.

Grab the lower right hand corner of the image and with the shift key depressed to constrain the size, widen the image to fill the page at the new size.

Now go to the second image and crop that one from the top going the other way. When you’ve cropped the top part off, resize it to fill the page. Your large image is now on two pages.

I’ve actually had images that needed to be split onto 4 pages. The steps were the same. Just shrink the original until it fits on one page and then copy it 3 times to subsequent pages. Now crop accordingly until you have 4 comfortably sized images that you can see.

Better than what? A little specificity goes a long way toward understanding. By “labeling envelopes,” I assume you mean printing addresses on them. This is a very handy feature when you’re preparing a ‘mass mailing;’ that is, sending copies of a letter to multiple people on a mailing list using the ‘mail merge’ feature. I used to have to do this quite frequently in a previous job. In addition to envelopes, you can use the mail merge feature on the letters themselves to personalize each copy with the recipient’s address at the top of the page and their name in the salutation. It’s a little bit of a pain to set up the first time but once you get the process figured out, it’s a great time saver.

Aside from including them in the document itself (probably not what’s being asked about), a custom watermark or a background graphic would do the job. On the Design tab, you’ll find the Watermark options on the right side of the ribbon.

A text watermark probably isn’t going to work very well since you need those fold lines in specific places on the page, so I’d recommend setting up a graphic which has them in the proper place. I don’t mess with watermarks and will defer to anyone who can tell you how to properly set that up. Instead, I’d recommend going with background graphics.

Set up a graphic that spans the width of the page. Something like this:

Insert it into the document, set it as a floating graphic (not tied to a paragraph), and set it behind the text. Because the font color is light gray, it won’t interfere too much with the flow of the other stuff on the page.

Paper envelopes? Not foam or (what I’ll call) “cottonned-paper” padded envelopes, right? You mean, on regular old paper envelopes? Well, they are just paper, of a certain set of dimensions. It is not a problem for Word to print on different size paper. Pretty much any size paper. So I don’t know if this is really about Word.

Can your PRINTER handle the envelop? If your printer can handle the envelop, Word can certainly handle it. You adjust the paper size. Same way you would adjust for a 4″x6″ paper instead of 8.5″x11″. Or 11″x14″.

Doing a search for “business envelop” in Word help let’s you know that you must use the desktop version of Word (not mobile) to get different sizes, including envelopes. You will also find that the orientation is a function of your printer, so you have to set things up correctly in Word when you want to print.

Sometimes it is easier if you are doing a lot of them to get sheets of labels rather than having to feed one envelop at a time into the printer. Some printers may autofeed envelopes. (Mine doesn’t.)

You might look at the answer at In what way can I print multiple envelopes in Microsoft Word?

and be specific about just one envelop or a few, and why your question isn’t just either in Word help or already answered on the internet or in Quora.

Answering: “How do I print addresses on envelopes in Word?”

I would just like to point out that you can print envelopes from almost any program, almost including GIMP/Photoshop.

First, you need a printer capable of handling envelopes. Very few (I don’t know any consumer printers that do) consumer printers will autofeed envelopes for printing. So you will manually feed the envelopes.

Then you need to set the size of the paper to print. Your printer driver software may have an envelop size to set. Otherwise, perhaps you need a custom size, in the orientation of your envelop. Now you can print anything on a piece of paper the size of an envelop which you feed in.

If you were to make your life difficult and try to use GIMP to print an envelop, you would create an image the size of your envelop and type in the text you want, place it where it needs to be and print it.

Use notepad. Same steps.

Use Excel. Same steps. Put the text in a cell which will be positioned at the right place on the printed page which you have set up.

So, maybe your question was NOT “How can I print envelopes from MS Excel?”.

Maybe it was “How is Excel involved in printing multiple envelopes with the Mail Merge feature of Microsoft Word?” Oh! you have been given an answer to that from Ronald 'Ron' J. Ellis here. A nice answer too. Very much like what you would get if you used the wizard in Word. Especially if you are doing a lot of envelopes and will enter all the address information.

If this sounds snarky, I’m sorry. But to print one envelop, you can use almost anything you have. I frequently default to a pen to write the address on the envelop.

A table in Word works as well as and Excel spreadsheet if you have a large number of addresses to do. Like a Christmas card list. Which mostly stays the same from year to year. Then it is easier to print labels rather than envelopes. Oh, not just for Christmas cards. The labels are on a sheet, so you don’t necessarily have to manually feed each envelop. MUCH more convenient and efficient.

“Print” - Do you mean to print on your printer onto a piece of paper? “Print” is also sometimes used by computer users to mean print letters on a screen.

“Letters” - In MS-Word, this is type face or “font”. You can adjust the size, position, font color, background color, weight and slant (italics) and type face by name using a tool that lists available type faces you can use.

Now I am going to think that by “Print” you really mean you want to print a large sign or banner beyond the size of a standard printer page. Perhaps you want to submit your MS-Word file to a local printer to make a banner or sign. Most people do not own printers of that size. (With dot matrix or roll paper type printers you could make long signs.)

How To Make Large Fonts (For Signs)

The dropdown box shows you a list of sizes to choose. The largest size I see is 72, not big enough for viewing at a distance. Type whatever number you want and you can make a huge sign. Try “350”. Calibri font. Set page to “landscape”. I got 4 characters to fit on page. You can make inventory storeroom signs, directional signs for meetings at hotels, rummage sale signs. If you are new to signage, test it to see how visible it is with your chosen colors and style.

Is this what you have in mind?

You select “Print”, then you go into your print settings and change ‘paper type’ into single-sided and then select pages 1 only. Duh! You just learned something new today.

One thing about formatting different books for different uses (ex: print, ebook, Kindle, pdf), you also have to regularly change the page dimensions on the fly, without screwing up the final look and feel of the document.

Oh, and if you mean that one page consists of only the word “FRICK!!!”, then you simply include a page-break command, at the end of the page, to ensure it breaks there, and not wherever it happens to reach the end of the page.

From my experience it is not. You can change the font used, from within Word also.

Sometimes, the printer driver is to blame. If so it might be possible to update that driver by looking online for the latest version (from the printer manufacturer’s website).

Canon have an extensive software upgrade list where you can download the correct driver for your printer.

Microsoft works hard to write software to compensate for poorly written drivers and other software to ensure the Windows user has a good experience on their machine. Microsoft does not get paid for that coding by those 3rd party companies.

This is a function of your printer driver, not a function of Word.

Some printers are capable of printing multiple pages per sheet, others are not. Some printers are capable of printing in color and/or on both sides of the paper, and others are not. Some are even capable of stapling pages together, but most are not.

If you use a generic printer driver, these options are not presented. However, if you use a custom printer driver that is specific to your printer model, you will be offered every possible feature built in by the printer maker.

On the subject of stapling, I've seen printers that staple but you don't load staples into them; instead, you load a spool of special wire. The printer determines the size of the staple needed based on the number and thickness of the sheets being stapled, and cuts the wire as needed.
