How to Print an Address on a Business Envelope

A business envelope looks professional when the address is computer printed.

Using the "Envelopes and Labels" feature in Microsoft Word makes printing custom business envelopes quick and easy. The entire process is really as simple as opening the feature, typing the address information and clicking "Print."

Things You'll Need

• Toner-based or Inkjet printer

Instructions

1. In Microsoft Word, click on "Tools," then "Letters and Mailings," then "Envelopes and Labels."

2. Click on the "Envelopes" tab.

3. In the "Delivery Address" text box, fill in the appropriate information.

4. In the "Return Address" text box, fill in the appropriate information.

5. Place a blank envelope in your printer tray. The printer will print the address information according to the icon displayed under "Feed." To change the way the printer prints the address information, click on "Options," then on "Printing Options." Choose the feed method, then click "OK."

6. Click "Print" to print the envelope.
