Word includes an Envelopes feature that makes it pretty easy to create your own professional-looking envelopes. The feature makes certain assumptions about how different parts of the envelope should be printed. This includes the font that Word uses to print the envelope's information.
When creating an envelope, Word depends on predefined styles. The style used for the main address on the envelope is, appropriately enough, Envelope Address. Likewise, the style used for the return address is named Envelope Return. When you instruct Word to create the envelope, these styles are grabbed and used for formatting the addresses on the envelope.
If you want to change the font used by Word in creating envelopes, you need to change the style used for this purpose by Word. To do this, follow these steps if you are using Word 97 or Word 2000:
When done, you should repeat these steps if you want to change the font used for the return address. The only difference, of course, is that in step 4 you should select the Envelope Return style.
If you are using Word 2002 or Word 2003, the steps you follow to make the changes are slightly different. Follow these steps, instead.
Repeat these steps if you want to change the font used for the return address, but in step 4 make sure you select the Envelope Return style.
If you are using Word 2007 then the steps to make the changes are different still:
When you save your document or close Word, you are asked if you want to save your changes to the template. Make sure you do this. Your envelopes, when created in a document that uses this template, should now use the font you specified.
