Envelopes
and Labels with Pizzazz
Have you ever
found yourself in MS Word's Envelopes and Labels window, desperately
trying to change a font, but with no luck?
You probably noticed
that the ways you make those changes in your document are locked to
you. As long as that window is open, you're not going to have access
to the Format menu or any of the drop down menus you're accustomed
to using.
So, now what?
You could choose
to create an entire page of the labels and then work with font changes
on the entire document. Or, with an envelope, you could have the envelope
added to the document and make alterations there.
But, what if you
just wanted to quickly print straight from the Envelopes and Labels
window, without making major changes to your document?
Do you give up
and print the boring old envelope or label as it is?
No. Never give
up!
While you're in
the Envelopes and Labels window, all you need to remember is to right
click.
Right click?
Yep, a right click
does the trick.
In any of the
address boxes on either the Envelope or Label tab, just simply right
click.
The pop up menu
should be short and sweet and to the point. You're looking for the
Font choice at the bottom.
(On the Envelope
tab, you can get to the font window through the Options button, but
let's face it, one right click is much quicker!)
If you already
have text in the address box, highlight the text that needs to be
changed before you right click.
At any rate, once
you've chosen Font from the pop up menu, you'll be
taken to the Font window where you can make the same changes you can
make to the text of a document.
When you've made
all the changes you need, just click OK.
You'll then be
returned to the Envelopes and Labels window to continue on your merry
little way!
