    Mail merge with Word 2010


    Hi I am just trying to learn how to mail merge with word 2010

    I start Word then click on Mailings, then click on start mail merge, then click on envelopes, then select the size of envelope, then select recipients, and all works ok except the address block is almost at the bottom of the envelope no matter what setting I use.

    I know I can grab this address block and move it anywhere.

    But is there not a way to make the default position higher on the envelope please

    Also I see using this method it prints the City County and post code on the same line

    Is there a better way to select addresses and print without having to alter every ones position please

    Have a look at these MS website to see if there is anything that helps you. In the second one which is applicable to Word 2007 there is a section on printing envelopes which may help you.

    Thank you for the link I will have a look at them.

    One thing I am not able to work out is when the address is placed on the envelope it is posisiond in the lower part of the envelop I can get round this by selecting a smaller custom style envelope but there must be a way of forcing it to default to UK style

    Also when I get to the part where I insert the address block it default to the US style but on my laptop it defaults to the UK style ?

    Please see screen shot

    It's probably the region & language settings that currently set. To change them follow this:

    Open Control Panel & select Region & Language & go through all the setting Tabs to see what settings are used. You can change these if you wish. The computer probably should be rebooted if you make any changes.
