MS Access Forum / General 2 / April 2008Envelope address
How do I save the customized address location (From Top and From Left) that I typed in for a custom envelope size? I want to do this so that I can come back to it at a later date. I will be adressing hundred of envelopes to different customers over the next couple of months.

Page Setup to set up a custom paper size for the envelope. There's no need to programmatically mess with the From Top/From Left properties. SignatureJohn W. Vinson [MVP] Thanks, John. Did you do this in Word or Access? I am starting from Word, with about 500 letters that I created from an Excel customer list using Mail Merge. Each letter has the customer's address on it. I have never used Access. If that is the best program to use, is there a downloadable user's guide?

Well... you did post your question in a newsgroup supporting Access, which is why I assumed you were in fact using Access. The webpage can be confusing, and may have misled you; the first alphabetical subject area on the Office heirarchy is this one, for Microsoft Access. You need to scroll down the list to find a newsgroup for Word. That said, yes, Access is very well suited to maintaining lists of addresses (and lists of all sorts). It is, however, a much more complex program than Excel or Word and has a steep learning curve. If you want to investigate it see some of the introductory material at: Jeff Conrad's resources page: http://www.accessmvp.com/JConrad/accessjunkie/resources.html The Access Web resources page: http://www.mvps.org/access/resources/index.html A free tutorial written by Crystal (MS Access MVP): http://allenbrowne.com/casu-22.html MVP Allen Browne's tutorials: http://allenbrowne.com/links.html#Tutorials SignatureJohn W. Vinson [MVP] Thanks for the explanation and your help. This is my first time using this site and I was confused. After reading your message and looking at the page more closely, I see how it is set up. It isn't that difficult, I just did it in too much of a hurry yesterday. I will check out the introductory material. Thanks again. SignatureDave > >Thanks, John. Did you do this in Word or Access?
