There are times when you may need to print several envelopes that have the same delivery address, or you may need to keep an envelope on file for future use. The developers at Word provided the capability to add an envelope to your current document, but not to create a new document that contains just an envelope (as they did with labels).
If you find yourself in this situation, follow these steps:
Figure 1. The Envelopes tab of the Envelopes and Labels dialog box.
You now have your envelope and can save it in a file, if you so desire. When it is time to print your envelope, you can do so as you would with any other document, including printing multiple copies. The only caveat is that you should only print page 1 of the document (which is the envelope itself). If you print the entire document, you will get a blank page after the envelope.

I use a promotional envelope which includes text, photo, & QR Code. I save it as a PDF.
