Re: Integrating Word 2007 and Stamps.com
But if Microsoft went to the trouble of setting up instructions for Word
2003, doesn't
anyone agree that they should do the same for Word 2007? From what I can
see there seems to be a big lack of info on this. Stamps.com's info is also
about Word 2003. And they tell me they are a Microsoft company.

Re: Integrating Word 2007 and Stamps.com
Google turns up something at
http://stamps-com-support-for-microsoft-word-20.software.informer.com/ that
may be helpful (claims to apply to Word 2007). According to
http://safari.oreilly.com/059652739X/word2007tmm-CHP-12-SECT-6, you can find
the E-postage Properties button at Mailings | Create | Envelopes. Is your
problem starting when you click this button?
And according to Word's Help on this topic:
If you have access to electronic postage, for example if you purchased it
from a service on the World Wide Web, you can add it to your envelope.
How?
1.. Select the Add electronic postage check box.
If you do not have an electronic postage program installed, Microsoft Word
prompts you to install one and offers to connect to the Microsoft Office
Online Web site. There you can get more information and links to other sites
that offer electronic postage.
2.. To set options for the electronic postage programs that are installed
on your computer, click E-postage Properties.
