I know you can use the Wizard to create Mailing Labels in Access. Is there
any way you can set up a label that will print directly onto an envelope?
Thanks for any help
Printing on an envelope is just like printing any another report.
First you must determine if your report is going to print in Portrait
or Landscape mode.
If the envelope feeds into the printer narrow side first, it will be
in Landscape.
If flap side first, portrait.
The below instructions are for Landscape.
Make a new report.
Place the Address labels at the left margin.
Size the width of the report just a bit wider than the labels.
Click File + PageSetUp + Page
Set the Paper Size property to the size of the envelope.
Since the envelope feeds in narrow side first,
set the Page Orientation to Landscape.
Then click on the Margins tab.
Set the Left and Top margins to print the address at the proper place
on the envelope.
To print on a #10 business envelope, for example, I set the Top margin
to
2.75" and the Left margin to 3" in Landscape.
Print a sample.
Readjust margin settings as needed
For Portrait mode, follow the above instructions, but, of course,
change the Page SetUp mode to Portrait, and adjust the margin settings
accordingly.
