In the Auto Place Fields dialog box, select each field that you want to use in the address on the envelope, and choose the Place button. As you do this for each desired field, a check mark appears next to the selected field name. When you have selected all the fields you want to use in your address, choose OK. You must then arrange the fields on the form as you want them to appear.   From the File menu, choose Page Setup.   In Page Setup, choose US Letter. </li>  Under Orientation, choose Landscape. </li>  Choose the Document button, and change the Margins to the following: Top: 4.5 Bottom 0.25 Left: .5 Right: 1.00 In the Print dialog box, choose Manual Feed. If you receive alerts that the margins are negative or too small, ignore the alerts and continue with the printing. If the labels do not initially print in the correct location on the envelope, switch to design view and move the fields. </li></ol>
