Creating and modifying envelopes

When you create an envelope, you can type return and mailing addresses or choose return and mailing addresses from an address book. You can insert addresses from a WordPerfect or Microsoft Outlook address book. For information about WordPerfect address books, see “Using the Address Book.” If you want to use a Microsoft Outlook address book, you must configure WordPerfect to use your Outlook address book as the default address book. For more information, see “Choosing an address book for WordPerfect.”

WordPerfect lets you change the settings of an envelope that you create or edit an existing envelope. You can change the position of the return and mailing addresses on an envelope. You can change the size of an envelope. If a preset envelope size doesn’t meet your needs, you can create a custom envelope size by specifying an envelope’s dimensions.

You can also insert a POSTNET bar code, using an 11-digit delivery point bar code, a 9-digit ZIP code, or a 5-digit ZIP code.

After creating an envelope, you can print it. For information about printing envelopes, see “Printing envelopes and labels.”
