1. From the Accelerator menu within your Word processor, choose |Create/Edit|Envelope Format|.

2. The Accelerator application will display the |Create or Edit an Envelope Format| dialog box, listing all of the available envelope formats.

3. Highlight the existing Envelope format that is most like the format you want to create.  This example will use a size 10 envelope.
    
4. Select the |Create New| button (shown above) and the |Document Format Description| dialogue box (shown below) will open. Here you can enter any description for your Envelope. For example, call it "My Envelope". Type "My Envelope" in the |Document Format Description| dialogue box.  In Addition, Accelerator now provides the options to make any custom document created within Accelerator available to other users on the Accelerator network.   To make this Custom Envelope available to other users on the network, check the |Public Format| option as shown below.  If you wish, you may keep the document private by selecting the |Personal Format| option (shown below).

5. Select |Continue|.  The Accelerator application will switch back to your word processor and open a new file pre formatted like the chosen existing Size 10 Envelope format where it will display the message, "Please save and close the format file when you are done editing". This message is just to remind you that you must save and close the document before you can actually use it.

IMPORTANT: Do not change the name or location of the document when saving, as it must use the name generated by Accelerator.  You will understand why later in this topic.

Accelerator Macro Suite Templates are backward compatible with earlier versions of Word and WordPerfect.  When saving your Custom Formats, you may be prompted to save your document in an updated Word or WordPerfect format.  Select |YES| to save the Envelope Form in the latest Word or WordPerfect Format if you do not have workstations using older version of Word or WordPerfect.
 

6. The new pre formatted Envelope format is displayed on the screen and is ready to edit. Treat this document like a regular word processing document; the only difference is that the document uses the merge codes and substitution fields that Accelerator recognizes.  You may add merge fields by selecting the Insert Merge Fields Button , or remove merge fields by deleting them from the document.  For more information on merge fields, see Accelerator Merge Fields.

7. From your word processor menu bar, select |File|Close|. This saves the envelope format in Accelerator to be used as often as you like. You can later use create/edit an envelope format to make any additional changes to this existing form.
    
8. After you have created a custom Envelope, you will want to use it with the |Multiple Envelopes| feature. See the next section on how to use the Envelope form  you just created.

1. From the Accelerator menu within your word processor, select the |Multiple Envelopes| option.

2. From the Accelerator application, search for a group of contacts.  To select multiple contacts, click the box to the left of the contacts.  Once you have made your selections, click the |Keep Checked Contacts Button| (Shown Below).

3. Now click the |Continue Envelopes| button (shown below).

4. Select |My Envelope| from the drop down list in Section 1 of the Multiple Envelopes Dialogue Box (Shown Below).  Make any other selections from sections 2-8 to appropriately format your envelope.  Click the |Continue Button|.

5. Select the |Print to Default Printer| option from the Print Options dialogue box.  Click |Continue| to print your Envelopes.  In addition, you may select to display the envelopes in your word processor.
