I get many questions about seemingly routine Outlook activities that readers have had problems accomplishing, and these are two common ones: Printing Envelope(s), and Sharing Contacts.

A. Print a single envelope (printing envelopes for a mass mailing will be covered in a later TechTIP)
1. On the Tools menu, point to Letters and Mailings, and then click Envelopes and Labels.
2. Click the Envelopes tab.
3. In the Delivery address box, enter or edit the mailing address.
4. In the Return address box, you can accept the default return address or do one of the following:
* Enter or edit the return address.
* Omit a return address by selecting the Omit check box.
5. To select an envelope size, the type of paper feed, and other options, click Options, select the options you want, and then click OK.
6. In the Envelopes and Labels dialog box, do one of the following:
* To print the envelope now, insert an envelope in the printer as shown in the Feed box, and then click Print.

B. Sharing Outlook Contacts
1. In Outlook, select all the contacts you want to send
2. From the Main Menu, select Actions, then Forward as vCard
3. Then just Send (or Send All, Send/Receive - however you normally send email)

I'm always interested in hearing from my readers, so let me know what activities you would like reviewed in any of the standard Microsoft Office business applications, i.e. Outlook, Explorer, Excel, PowerPoint, or Word.
