How to Print a 6-by-9 Envelope

Print pre-addressed envelopes using your home or office printer.

Printing envelopes not only saves you from having to address them by hand but also gives your envelopes a more professional look. With Microsoft Word, a word processing program installed on most PCs, you have the ability to load blank envelopes into the printer tray, edit the information through the program and print your envelopes one at a time or in bulk with the destination and return address.

Things You'll Need

• Computer
• Microsoft Word 2003 or 2007
