To add the graphic to your envelope, follow these steps:

1. Open your Word document containing your letter and select the mailing address in the

document.

2. Go to Tools | Letters And Mailing | Envelopes And Labels. (In Word 2000, go to Tools |

Envelopes And Labels.)

3. Click the Add To Document button.

4. Click the Page Layout View in the Status bar.

5. Go to Insert | AutoText | AutoText.
