Mary ... thanks for helping out ...
I hadn't found the MS KB article link you have provided,
however, it had a more relevant KB link imbedded in it:
WD2000: Envelope Address Positions Not Retained Between
Word Documents
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-
US;212130
However, after studying this latter KB article, I can see
that I would have to try to enter negative values in the
Format > Style > Modify Style > Frame fields to
permanently adjust my Envelope Address and Envelope
Return print positions 3 1/4 inches to the left. I did
not want to permanently alter my WD2000 templates just
yet as this approach seems off point to me. I doubt if
WD2000 would accept negative values in these fields
anyways.
I had seen the HP article you provided and there is
nothing new there that would be relevant to my issue.
If this is a (Win XP provided) driver issue, as I suspect
it must be, I would think that it would have been noted
by WD2000 users and MS by now. Very odd.

>This from HP:

>There are two ways to print envelopes on the HP Deskjet
800 series printers. Both
>ways are described in the printers' User's Guides.
>Printing envelopes from the single-sheet feeder
>Slide the single-sheet feeder to the right to
accommodate the width of the envelope.
>Insert the envelope into the slot with the flap facing
up and to the right.
>Push the envelope forward until it stops.
>Adjust the single-sheet feeder to make sure the right
edge of the envelope is aligned
>with the right side of the IN tray.
>In the application's Page Setup screen, select No. 10
Envelope under Media Size.
>In the application's Page Setup screen, select the
Portrait icon under Orientation.
>Select the OK button after making the above selections.
>Print.
>Printing envelopes from the IN tray
>Slide the paper width and length adjusters to their
outermost positions.
>Insert up to 15 envelopes along the right side of the IN
tray.
>Push the envelopes forward until they stop.
>Adjust the paper width adjuster and the length adjusters
to fit snugly against the
>edges of the envelope stack.
>In the application's Page Setup screen, select No. 10
Envelope under Media Size.
>In the application's Page Setup screen, select the
Portrait icon under Orientation.
>NOTE: The Orientation setting varies from application to
application, so Landscape
>may need to be selected instead of Portrait.
>Select the OK button after making the above selections.
>Print.
