SYMPTOMS

When you change the Delivery Address or the Return Address font from the Envelopes tab, Word may change the default font for new documents based on the Normal template.

To locate the Envelopes tab, click Envelopes And Labels on the Tools menu.

CAUSE

This functionality occurs when you select the address in the Envelopes tab, hold down CONTROL and click the selected address, and then click Font from the shortcut menu. If you click the Default button on the Font tab, the following message is shown:

   Do you want to change the default font to <font name>, <point size>?

   This change will affect all new documents based on the NORMAL template.

When you click Yes, the default font in Word for all new documents is changed.

RESOLUTION

To permanently change the Delivery Address or Return Address formatting without affecting the default font for the Normal template, use either of the following methods.

Method 1: Use the Options Button

  1. On the Tools menu, click Envelopes And Labels.

  2. From the Envelopes tab, click Options. You do not need to select the address you typed in the Delivery Address or Return Address box.

  3. On the Envelope Options tab, click the Font button for either Delivery Address or Return Address.

  4. On the Font tab, make changes to the font as needed and then click OK.

    NOTE: To make your changes permanent, click the Default button. One of the following messages will be shown:

          Do you want to change the default envelope address font to
          <font name>, <point size>?
    

          This change will affect all new documents based on the NORMAL
          template.
    

             -or-
    
          Do you want to change the default envelope return address font to
          <font name>, <point size>?
    
          This change will affect all new documents based on the NORMAL
          template.
    
    
Click Yes to save your changes. New envelopes you create will use the formatting changes you made to either the Delivery Address or Return Address.

Method 2: Change the Envelope Address or Envelope Return Style

To change the Envelope Address or Envelope Return style, follow these steps:

  1. On the Format menu, click Style.

  2. In the Style dialog, under List, select All styles. Under Styles, select the style Envelope Return or Envelope Address, and then click the Modify button.

  3. From the Modify Style dialog box, click to select the Add To Template check box, click the Format button, and then click Font.

  4. In the Font dialog box, select the font and properties you want.

  5. Click the OK button twice to return to the Style dialog box.

  6. Click Close.

Changes you made to either the Envelope Return or Envelope Address will be applied to the current envelope, as well as all future envelopes.
