SYMPTOMS
========

When you have an envelope added to your document and you then use the Envelope
Options dialog box to modify the font attributes of the delivery address, the
delivery address may move up near the return address if you cancel the Envelope
Options dialog box.

CAUSE
=====

Canceling the Envelope Options dialog box resets the formatting of the delivery
address and removes the frame that is used to position the delivery address.
With the frame removed, the delivery address becomes positioned near the return
address.

RESOLUTION
==========

To correct this problem, install Microsoft Word 97 for Windows Service Release 1
(SR-1).

To work around this problem, reapply the Envelope Address style to the delivery
address and have the delivery address return to the correct position. To do
this, follow these steps:

1. Select the delivery address.

2. On the Format menu, click Style.

3. In the List drop-down box, click All Styles.

4. Click the Envelope Address style.

  NOTE: If you want to change the font of the delivery address, follow these
  steps:

  a. From the Click the Modify button.

  b. Click the Format button and then click Font.

  c. Change the font.

  d. Click OK twice and click Apply.
