I understand that, but printing envelopes in Word is not difficult.

I don't think you can mix fonts in the address lines,  although I have never
tried it.  But you can do the addressee name in CAPS and revert to normal print
for the actual postal address.  Since I do most of my envelope printing to # 10
standard envelopes, there's usually plenty of room to print a large address
line.

Was reading a review of the new Office 2008 for the Mac.  Looks like MS has
included many of the graphic features of MS Publisher (Publisher is available
for Windows only) in their new version of Word.  The reviewer (MacWorld) seemed
to like that.  However, he did state that the Apple "Keynote" presentation
software was still better than the improved version of "Powerpoint" for the
Mac.

Regards.
