Summary:

In Microsoft File version 2.00, the Custom Setup and Custom Print combination can be used to print addresses to standard size envelopes from a LaserWriter. The steps for printing envelopes are as follows:

1. Arrange the appropriate fields in a form like the one shown on page 17 of the "Microsoft File 2.0 Update" booklet (page xxxiii of the "Microsoft File for the Apple Macintosh" version 2.0 manual). Close the form.
2. From the File menu, choose Custom Setup.
3. Enter a width of 8.5 and a height of 11. Enter 1 for Number Of Columns Across.
4. For a LaserWriter or LaserWriter Plus, enter 2 for Top Margin. For a LaserWriter IINT or IINTX with a centrally-located envelope guide, enter 4 for Top Margin.
5. Enter 5 for Left Margin.
6. Select the Horizontally and Vertically boxes under Compress Blank Space. Click OK.
7. In the Page Setup box that follows, click the icon for Wide Orientation. US Letter is the correct paper size. Click OK.
8. From the File menu, choose Print Custom. Click Manual Feed so that envelopes can be hand fed. For printers with no envelope guide, feed in envelopes facing upward with the top against the right edge of the paper feed slot.
9. Click OK.
