I have a product that I would like to offer envelope printing in. I wrote a little Crystal Report that will put the return address and mailing address in the right place... on my printer! I can find a zillion report writers that support mailing labels but ZERO that even have the word envelope in their index. The problem is that different printers load the envelopes in different ways. MS Word seems to be able to handle this and prints the envelope properly for each printer. I just don't know how they do it. I suppose I could use OLE automation to take advantage of Word's functionality, but I can't assume that my customers have Word. I found one report writer (from VideoSoft) that supposedly will print any Access report without the user having Access. But even Access doesn't mention envelopes. Do I just give up and support mailing labels only?
