Click the Printing Options tab. It's at the top of the window.
Select an envelope feed format. Click one of the visual representations of an envelope feeding into a printer. This is how you'll need to insert the envelope into the printer. The "feed method" options determine whether the long or short end of the envelope will be fed into the printer, as well as where on the feed tray (left, middle, or right) you'll be inserting the envelope. If you feed the envelope short edge first, you may need to rotate the envelope to prevent the text from appearing upside-down. The "face" is the side of the envelope that contains the address information.
Click OK. It's at the bottom of the window.
Insert the envelope into your printer. Make sure that you do this according to your chosen feed format. If you're not sure how to insert an envelope into your printer, check your printer's documentation.
Click Print. It's in the bottom-left corner of the Envelopes window. Your envelope will begin printing. If you encounter issues while printing the envelope, try resetting the feed format to the Word default.
