Title: Page Set Up/Folding Letters Post by: sobriquetnic on September 30, 2004, 09:01:16 pm Hi all
Now, this may seem like a pretty basic question, but I'm curious! When starting a new word document, do you use the default page set up settings on Word? If so, how does this work when you fold a letter to go into a DL size window envelope? Do you only need to fold the letter twice? Or do you ever have to fold it a little at the top to make it fit? This is my basic format:- Our Ref >carriage return x 3 Date >carriage return x 3 Address >carriage return x 4 Dear Whoever I use the default page settings on word and sometimes my address fits perfectly into the window, but other times I have to fold the top over a bit which I don't really like! Weird or what?! Sorry if you all think I'm going a bit mad! All the best, Nicola.

Because so many of the things I type have docs attached I don't have to do that much folding but this should work from that point of view too.

The only time it is not so easy is when people have impossibly long and complicated addresses - and job titles.
I must say, though, that I don't tend to use window envelopes, but print my envelopes or use labels, depending on what I am sending out.

I usually start about line 10 and go from there. Don't think there are any rules. As for folding I usally fold the bottom edge up to meet Dear Sir, and then fold the top in underneath and type an address label. G |
