Getting Ready to Print Envelope

Preparing to print envelopes is a matter of identifying the data source document, or creating
one if it does not already exist, and selecting the envelope size and layout. To identify the data
source document:
• Choose Tools >> Mail Merge.
• Choose Create >> Envelopes, and choose New Main Document.

• In the Mail Merge Helper dialog box, choose Get Data.
• To use the existing data source document, select Open Data Source. If you do not have
one, choose Create Data Source.

Options dialog box.
