This tutorial will show you how to build and print an envelope using Microsoft Word without the need for complicated setups or outside software.
Even while the postal service can recognize almost any handwriting to deliver a letter, you might occasionally still wish to print the information on the envelope for a more polished appearance or to expedite the process when sending many pieces of mail.
For whatever reason, the Mailings feature in Word from Microsoft 365, Office 2021, 2019, 2016, and previous editions makes it simple to create envelopes and labels.
This tutorial will show you how to use Microsoft Word on Windows 11 to print an envelope.
Print envelopes from Microsoft Word
Use these procedures to print an envelope in Microsoft Word:
Launch Microsoft Word.
If applicable, choose the blank document option.
Press the Mailingstab button.
On the envelopes button, click.
As with any envelope, provide the delivery details, including name and destination address, under the Delivery address box.
Enter your details, including your name and address, in the Return Address section.
On the Options button, click.
In the Envelope size setting, choose the envelope’s size (for instance, Size 10).
(Optional) Modify the information’s font and placement under the Delivery address area.
(Optional) Modify the information’s font and placement under the Return address box.
Verify the envelope printout in the Preview section.
Select the “Printing” option.
Choose the feeding tray and the printing feed location (clockwise rotation, face down) under the Feed method section.
Press the “OK” button.
Press the “Print” button.
The printer will print the envelope with the source and destination details you entered in Microsoft Word after you’ve finished the procedures.
In addition to printing envelopes directly, Microsoft Word has a feature called Labelstab that lets you make and print labels that you may affix to an envelope.
The options also allow you to add electronic postage if it is available, although using this function requires third-party software.
