This still doesn't help. I DON'T WANT a document added to my envelope! Every time I print an envelope, Word want to spit out a blank page and the printer complains there's no paper. That's because I just want to print envelopes and I don't have regular paper in it. Why is this so hard to find the information I'm looking for?????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
