Default can the database print directly to envelops

I am trying to print my maillist directly to the envelops, to avoid printing
lables on a sheet.

Create a Report sized to fit your envelope.

And if you're printing many envelopes, you'll want to be sure your printer
feeds them reliably or it becomes a lot more work than using labels. Set the
report's paper size to the size of your envelope, and then test until you
get the text in the desired location.

Printing on an envelope is just another report.

First you must determine if your report is going to print in Portrait
or Landscape mode.
If the envelope feeds into the printer narrow side first, it will be
in Landscape.
If flap side first, portrait.

The below instructions are for Landscape.

Make a new report.
Place the Address controls at the left margin.
Size the width of the report just a bit wider than the labels.

Click File + PageSetUp + Page
Set the Paper Size property to the size of the envelope.
Since the envelope feeds in narrow side first, set the Page
Orientation to Landscape.
Then click on the Margins tab.
Set the Left and Top margins to print the address at the proper place
on the envelope.
To print on a #10 business envelope, for example, I set the Top margin
to 2.75" and the Left margin to 3" in Landscape.

Print a sample.
Readjust margin settings as needed

For Portrait mode, follow the above instructions, but, of course,
change the Page SetUp mode to Portrait, and adjust the margin settings
accordingly.
