Macro that places selected text on envelope with my return
address logo

Long time WP user from the early 80's ... I use to have a macro that would 
place highlighted text as the address on an prepared envelop that had my 
return address and logo. Somehow something corrupted it. Now when I try to 
run the macro with the desired address highlighted, the box comes up that 
says

cstenv90 is ready to print

The text you selected
    0
was copied to the clipoard,
ready to insert in an envelop

If I go ahead with the print command, the envelop will print correctly with 
my return address and logo in the right spot. The place where the desired 
address should go simply prints out as
                                                                      return 
address begin

Any help to correct this would be appreciated.
You guys are great and much appreciated!

Jerry 

It's one of mine. I'll pick up on it.

Jerry,

That's one of my macros. See http://wptoolbox.com/library/CstEnv.html

As Roy noted, you really don't need it any more, unless you have special 
needs for the envelope. Later versions of WP can use a QuickWord in the 
return address area to insert different fonts, graphics, etc. See

It is not possible to guess the problem without access to the macro itself.
You could copy to another post the section that captures the selected text.

Since you are a "Long time WP user from the early 80's" - have you
explored 
WPWin's Format|Envelope feature?

Thanks Roy and Barry
I liked Barry's macro as it was a quick way to use my return address and 
logo, and, after selecting the addresee it would bring up the envelope ready 
to print. Some how when I reinstalled my WP setup some months back I failed 
to edit the macro with my personal data, etc.

At any rate I got it working. It's strange how when something works you 
hesitate to change. I will have to look at the QuickWord approach. Work 
demands and office pressure will let up at this week and I'll have some time
Thanks again
Jerry
