    MS Works address book/DB does not have the ability to print envelopes. I presently have version 6 & 8 on two different PCs. Previous versions could
    be used to batch print envelopes.

    Am I missing something in the newer versions or did MS screw up again?

    Thanks for sharing the answer? maybe someone else may have the same issue and want to locate the answer as you did.

    I personally didnt answer as I dont use MS Works but use MS Office and the fix would have been different.

    OK, Halo- I don't have 6 or 8, so this may not apply, but in MS Works 7.0:
    Tasks Menu > letters and labels > envelopes ( that's also why I didn't answer; but glad you found what you needed, Drgnhrn)

    I was told that MicroSoft removed that ability in the later versions of MS Works database so MS could sell more WORD programs. Right now that is the only place that batch envelopes can be printed...

    I have not seen version 7 but versions 6 & 8 do not have that path as there are no choices for envelopes at all.

    Thankx again - I'll be back with more problems, you can betcha!

    My version of MS Works (4.5a - I know pretty old) also has the capability of printing envelopes from an address book via the Tools/Envelopes... menu.

    However, you could try posting your query to the MS Works newsgroup at: http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/ or follow through the help & support at:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];wrk

    The MS Works home page is: http://www.microsoft.com/products/works/default.mspx where you may find further information.

    Finally, instructions on performing a mail merge from a MS Works database into Word for printing: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=832796
