Print Custom Envelope Size Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word makes it as quick as a click to get started on a new document, as the default page size opens to an 8.5 inch by 11 inch page replica. Whether you created a document from that size and need to resize it to fit your printer or you’ve inherited an older file and want to resize it to fit your marketing materials, Word lets you. I kept seeing ‘A2 and wanting to read ‘A4’ A2 is a bit unusual as the PaperSize.Org folks (link below) define in the following table that includes the dimensions: code Size (mm) Size (in) Aspect Ratio ISO.

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).

Create your own return address labels with this basic accessible address return labels template; just type your name and address once, and all of the labels automatically update. The labels are 1/2' x 1-3/4' and work with Avery 5167, 5267, 6467, 8167, and 8667. Design a custom address return label using this addressing labels template in Word. When printing custom sizes, the step of communicating the particular paper size to the printer is often overlooked, resulting in incorrect printing. By default, your printer assumes 8 1/2 x 11 size paper is in its tray. You must communicate otherwise for your non-standard size paper to print correctly. Set Multiple Page Sizes in Word: Set default page/paper size as other page sizes such Letter size, A4 size, Tabloid, Envelope size, and custom page sizes at a time in the document. You can add (change) more mixed page sizes (different or custom page sizes) wherever you want in a Microsoft Office Word Document with the following steps.

If you find yourself in this situation, follow these steps:

  1. Open the existing document that contains the address you want to use on your envelope.
  2. Highlight the address and copy it to the Clipboard by pressing Ctrl+C.
  3. Create a new document.
  4. Display the Mailings tab of the ribbon.
  5. Click Envelopes in the Create group. Word displays the Envelopes and Labels dialog box.
  6. Make sure the Envelopes tab is selected. (See Figure 1.)

    7. Figure 1. The Envelopes tab of the Envelopes and Labels dialog box.

  7. Place the insertion point in the Delivery Address area.
  8. Press Ctrl+V to paste the address you copied in step 2.
  9. Using the tools in the dialog box, format the envelope as you desire.
  10. Click on the Add to Document button. This creates your envelope.

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.
