Alternatives -
- An alternative to these macros is Mike
Koenecke's envelope macro (Shareware).
- Use a QuickWord (only for WP8 and later) to insert the custom return
address (i.e., grapics, font changes, etc.) in the WP envelope
dialog. You won't get the personal message stamps that these
macros provide, but you will get your desired formatting in the
return address area. (For an "envelope message stamper"
macro, see here.)
- Addr2UP ("Convert address to upper case") is a
macro that inserts the current letter's mailing address (stripped
of certain punctuation marks) in WordPerfect's Format, Envelope
dialog in UPPER CASE letters, to conform with suggested postal
service guidelines. Addr2UC doesn't format the return address,
but you can use the QuickWord technique above to set up your
return address formatting, and then play this macro while in
your letter. (Addr2UC is based in part on macro code from CSTENV90.)

The envelope feature in WordPerfect 6.x through
WordPerfect 12+ for Windows, unlike the one in WordPperfect 6
for DOS, does not allow you to add graphics or multiple fonts in the return address area. If you already use a customized letterhead template
or letterhead style to save some money on stationery, you'll
probably want to create a matching envelope template. When you've
done that -- and the instructions tell you how -- these macros
will grab your recipient's address from your letter and paste
it on the custom envelope, ready to print or append to your letter.
The macro can print optional messages ("Confidential,"
"Information You Requested," etc.). Select up
to three different return addresses (e.g., personal, business,
and spouse) from the macro's dialog box. Ideal for the small office or home office.

special formatting, barcodes, and personal messages (e.g., "Confidential").
Select one of up to three cusom envelopes, and either append
it to your document, print copies (modifed slightly for different
recipients), or just print it with a mouseclick just like WordPerfect's
own envelope feature.

Notes
1. The macro's dialog box
is taller than it is wide, and is best viewed at a screen resolution
of 800x600 or better.
2. A
sample envelope template is included along with a README.TXT
file in each archive file.
3.If
you use WP10.0.0.719 (service pack #3) or WP11/12 and play CSTENV80, you'll get several warning messages the first time
you play it about "obsolete" or unsupported commands
in the macro. These are harmless warning messages (introduced
by Corel in WP9/sp4), and can be ignored. Simply click "Continue
Compilation" when each message appears. You won't have to
do this again unless you modify the macro or play it in a later
WP version. Note also
that the CSTENV80 macro may not work in earlier versions of WP10
(i.e., versions prior to 10.0.0.719). |

The first release of WordPerfect 9
(May 1999) created envelopes by appending an envelope page to
the current document (unless it was blank, in which case it simply
created an envelope page). You didn't get a choice as you did
in earlier versions of WP to print or append -- you could only
append. This macro was designed as a workaround for the initial
release to give you both print choices -- and also let you have
envelopes that print with customized features. You can quickly
print a custom envelope with your logo, different fonts, or other
custom return address area designs. Or you can append the envelope
to the current document for editing or printing later, just as
WP9 does.
The release of Service Pack 1 for WP9 (August
1999) brought back much of the same functionality of WP8's envelope
feature using a similar envelope dialog window to that found
in WP8, but there still were shortcomings: The WP9 envelope feature
did not automatically grab the inside address from a letter,
and it did not allow a graphic logo or other customization of
the return address area. Service Pack 2 (December 1999) fixed
the former problem but not the latter.
The current release of
WP9 (even with service packs 1-4 applied) still does not allow
you to change the return address block so you can automatically
have a graphic logo, or different fonts, or different stylistic
elements on your envelope. Therefore you may find this macro
(or CSTENV80) useful if you need custom envelopes to match or
otherwise reflect your custom letterhead stationery.
Alternatively, you may
be able to use a graphic logo, several fonts, etc., in the return
address of an envelope by using a QuickWord. Click here for the technique.
Two versions of CSTENV9 are included: Version 1.06 (renamed from the original upload to
CstEnv90_v106.wcm) adds the ability to insert a USPS postal bar
code (see included instructions). Version 1.07 (named CstEnv90_v107.wcm)
improves the ability of the macro to automatically insert the
inside address on the envelope. Both versions are included in
the CstEnv90.zip archive file below, because version 1.06 can
find an inside address inside a table and may be slightly faster
(although unlike version 1.07, it requires you to place the cursor
on the first line of the inside address before playing the macro).
The code in both macros may be helpful to those who write their
own macros.
Note: CSTENV90
macros were not tested under earlier versions of WP, but may
work in WP8. If you want a more extensive version, you can use
CSTENV80 in WP8 and later versions. (Scroll up for information
on CSTENV80.) |
