SYMPTOM
=======
 
When you use the Create Envelope command, paragraph formatting--such
as Line Spacing, Indentation, and Justification--is unavailable. This
includes formatting from the Format Paragraph dialog box, the ruler's
formatting buttons, or any paragraph formatting command that has been
added to any menu.
 
NOTE: Character formatting of Bold, Italic, and Underline is
available, but only from the Format menu.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
This behavior is by design.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
To create envelopes with paragraph formatting, you must manually
create and format the envelope. You can do this by starting a new
file, typing in the desired address (and return address if
appropriate), and formatting the document margins to move the address
to the appropriate location on the page. Depending on the printer in
use, the page orientation may also have to be switched to landscape
orientation.
 
Several templates have been included with Word to speed envelope
creation. The templates for various printers can be found in the
Envelopes folder in the Sample Documents folder (usually found in the
Word folder). Manually creating envelopes with or without the
templates allows access to all Paragraph and Character formatting
options.
 
For more information about manually creating envelopes, refer to pages
103-108 in the "User's Guide" for version 5.0/5.1.
