Envelope in mail

In Mail, include more of the common envelope size offerings (ex A2, A7) that are used for notecards, invitations, etc. to allow printing of envelopes directly from RE without creating an export.

    I feel like my vote for this was years ago - when I at least had the ability to build this in the export function. Now that MS Word is no longer part of the database this is more important to me than ever. I really would like to utilize the amazing international formats I built into RE to work and I don't want to use labels for an invitation envelope. I'd love for the long names to wrap where my addressee/salutations intended them to. Simply exporting to Excel can give me the great functionality that I love and miss from RE that existed just a few months ago. What is in the works to fix this for us? If I could vote again for this I would. Thank you so much for your time, efforts, and consideration of this as a not so distant fix :)

    I would actually love to be able to enter a custom size as well.

    We mail out Christmas and Birthday cards. We have to create labels because the envelope size is not listed. It would be nice to enter a custom size.

    I usually have to do an export and merge, but have been experimenting with quick letters to avoid labels. It looks better and is so much faster to print directly on the envelope. Custom size would still be the best option.

    I set up a conditional merge in Export for this and it works great. Export looks at the query and output the fields you need, set it up for a custom size of the envelope necessary. Works great.

    Having trouble finding a printer that will print envelopes from RE. Works fine in WORD but have to jump through hoops to get an envelope from RE. Any suggestions? Please include make and model of the printer you are using with success.

    I use a Xerox ColorQube 9201 and an HP LaserJet P4015 -- both work fine. I find that each individual user has to figure out what works best for their set up though. Some people are connected to the exact same printers that I use and have problems.
