WD2000: Built-in VBA Argument RetAddrText Does Not Populate Dialog Box

• Microsoft Word 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you try to populate the envelopes and labels dialog box with a specific return address, using the built-in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) argument RetAddrText, the dialog box does not get populated.

For example, the following VBA code populates the delivery address but does not populate the return address:

Sub PopulateEnv
With Dialogs(wdDialogToolsCreateEnvelope)
   .AddrText = "Text"
   .RetAddrText = "Text2"
   .show
End With
End Sub
