[AccessD] Urgenet need re new printer (2007)

Hi Kathryn 

To set the layout to a #10 envelope, open a new report in design mode and select Page Setup from the File menu (I'm doing this in Access 2002, but A97 was the same AFIR).

>From there select the Page tab, and choose #10 from the Paper Size combo.

Making progress. It looks like I will ultimately have to take care of things one report at a time, but that's doable. I can get the printer and the orientation to stick. That issue turned out to be that I have to save the report itself. Saving the database doesn't save the change in the report.

However, there is still something wrong. Instead of printing this:

-----------------------|
Return                 |
            Addressee  |
-----------------------|

It's eliminating the Return address and printing the Addressee at the top of the envelope like this:

-----------------------|
            Addressee  |
                       |
-----------------------|

I didn't change anything on the layout itself, so don't know why that's happening. The only difference in the way the envelope goes in the printer is that it goes in the tray this way

Instead of this way

On OT, John B suggested "Personally, since it's just a standard #10 envelope report, I'd just start over and create a new report to work with any printer". But I can't figure out how to make a new report based on a standard envelope. Haven't found a place to say "make a report based on #10". I always have to set the sizes of the page by dragging the margins, etc and futz around with it. How do you do it? I'd love to have a quick/easy way to do it, especially since I not only have the #10's but some A9's and A8's as well.
