Print an envelope when in Office Outlook 2007?

[kreed]

You guys are just so funny, NOT.
Just because you don't have a need for something it doesn't mean that many
other people do not.
If you have nothing useful to contribute I would suggest you go blow your
Kazoo or something.

Just a half hour ago I found a good use for a window envelope.

I had gotten a kazoo as a party favor recently, but it was dirty, and in
trying to clean it I messed up its diaphragm.

I just replaced the diaphragm with a piece cut from an envelope window.
It worked.

Hey, I had fun

You should patent that

Anent the which I've found two formally requested patents for
modifications to toilets;

The mind reels.

Actually, that was my biggest complaint about it.

Luckily, it worked with the US Navy signal flags.

Er, that IS semaphore, so you must have been using Outlook Express. ;-)

Er, no, that is *not at all* semaphore.

Semaphore is done with two flags, one in each hand of a person standing
in view of the recipient, and the alphabet is encoded by combinations of
the eight possible positions of each flag. It is a decidedly serial
process.

The signal flags are a set of a few dozen flags, each with its own
meaning, including 10 flags for the digits. A message is sent by putting
a number of flags constituting the desired message onto a lanyard
displayed on the mast. It is a decidedly parallel process.

My bad you're right, forgot about them, the signalmen did those too.

Full disclosure: I once served in the US Navy, where I was an Ensign and
then a LTJG on a DE (a very small destroyer-like ship). Although I was
in the Engineering Division, I also stood bridge watches, so I was
supposed to know the signal flags and Morse code (for the signal
lights). I never got either one :-(

But I still call myself an expert

Snipes and the deck apes - - the fights go on.
Try an LSMR or a PCE for a small ship!

Every ship I served on was scrapped!
PCE (USS Portage), LST (USS Westchester County), LSMR (USS White River),
DD (USS Compton and USS Steinaker)

Thanks for all the replies...
It seems the most asked question here to request for help is why I want to
use Outlook for envelopes when Word is available. The answer is that Word
constantly messes up and I cannot print envelopes from its feature when I
want.

Maybe I should have asked how do I keep the envelope feature and the address
directory working in Word???

What did you find in a search ? Any leads ?

Now, I don't know what symptoms your broken setup has, but you'll probably
run into a few ideas out there. I also didn't notice what version of Word
you had.

If the scheme they use is complicated, there are bound to be
a few loose ends.

That depends on what you're doing to break it. If we can identify and
correct the bad behavior you'll find that Word works pretty well for
printing envelopes.

For a year and a half I was the chief snipe on DE418, Tabberer. It was
scrapped too. It made me sad to learn of it...

As for the fight between the apes and the snipes, we actually pretty
much seemed to get along on Tabberer. Our worst problems were one or two
of the officers

For you ex-swabjockeys, I had a neighbor (since deceased) who served as
an electrician on a collier, the USS Jupiter.

For those interested in history, it's a pretty famous ship.

According to my ex-neighbor it was the first US Navy ship converted
from DC to AC and he worked on that conversion. He had changed ships
and changed his MOS to Corpsman by the time the Jupiter underwent it's
best know conversion.

Possibly, but rather than try, I'll just stop posting in this thread

Are you using the "Mail Merge" and "Outlook Contacts" as the source list?
