Addressing envelopes in Word?

[Guest]

I am using Word 2003 (tools, letters and mailings, envelopes and labels) to
address large invitation envelopes. I am using manual feed and just typing in
each address (not very sophisticated!); I figured out how to get the envelope
size correct and how to get the address printed in the right position. The
problem is, I would like to use 14 or 16 point font, and when I do that, some
of the address lines go to a second line. I can't get the program to allow me
to make long lines stay on one line: "Mr. & Mrs. Charles and Mary Wollencot"
goes onto 2 lines, for example. There is plenty of space on the envelope to
fit the whole line; the problem is the program is forcing it onto two lines
when I want it to be one line. Thanks for your help!

The address on an Envelope is formatted with the Envelope Address style.
That style defines a Frame into which the address is inserted. What you
need to do is increase the dimensions of that Frame so that the address will
fit on the one line.

How do you edit the size of a frame? How do you access Frames? Thanks!
