Envelopes: a quasi-newbie question
Envelopes: a quasi-newbie question
This may be staring me in the face but I don't see it. Is there a reasonably simple way to print an envelope with NWE? I was beating my head against the problem yesterday, first using NWE, then Mellel, then finally Appleworks-- which worked like a champ. Much as I really hate to admit it, there are certain things I miss about Word...(aargh!). Thanks in advance. -Eric

Marc- many thanks. I had to play with it a while before I realized that the "page setup" dropdown was only showing me the first four paper size options. I reinstalled the program and now they're all showing, including the envelope. No idea why this occurred, but thanks to your feedback I can now make envelopes-- Yeeee Haaah!
