Using Vista and word 2007, I'm doing a mail merge.  The letters printed okay 
but now, the next day when I'm trying to print the envelopes, only the 
return address prints but the address for the letter doesn't print.  What 
should I do?

Are you using an InkJet Printer that does not have the colour cartridge 
installed?  Some InkJet Printers create black for the envelope address by 
mixing the coloured inks rather than by using the black ink cartridge.

Thanks for responding!  My printer is HP DeskJet 3920 but it has a color 
cartridge installed.  I'm in Israel and some of the addresses are in English 
and some are in Hebrew.  I just realized that only the Hebrew addresses 
don't print, the English ones print fine.  What to do?

Is the Hebrew font used in the letter as well and if so, does it print OK?

I have to admit though, it is not something that I have ever had anything to 
do with.

There's both Hebrew and English in the return address and they both print 
okay there!  I may have to address them by hand!

Are you getting any Hebrew text through in any of your merges?

If not, what is your data source?

Do you see the Hebrew text in the Address when you
 a. preview the merge
 b. and/or use print preview
 c. and/or output the envelopes to a new document?

(FWIW it works OK here using Word 2007 SP1, Vista SP1, both set up for UK 
English, the default mailmerge envelope layout (which uses the Cambria font 
for both address boxes here, and using an Outlook contacts list as the data 
source (selected from Word, not starting with the Outlook Tools|Mail Merge 
function) with data input in Outlook using the Hebrew keyboard layout. 
Printing to an HP inkjet (but not the same model as yours))

Thanks for responding.  I didn't see your reply until just now.  I finished 
the mail merge last week, so all the particulars aren't clear in my mind 
right now but if I moved the Address box section on the envelope (either to 
the right or to the left, I don't remember) only the first few letters of 
each line of the Hebrew address printed!  I wound up having to enter the 
addresses manually and print each envelope separately.  The addresses did 
appear in the preview of the merge, the also printed in the letters 
themselves.  Besides being somewhat old and not having such a good memory, I 
am close to being computer-illiterate, so I don't really understand what you 
mean when you say, "using an Outlook contacts list as the data source 
(selected from Word, not starting with the Outlook Tools|Mail Merge 
function) with data input in Outlook using the Hebrew keyboard layout."  I 
used the Mail merge Wizard and clicked on Create A New List.

OK, that's what I needed to know. If you had used the other method there was 
a possibility that the method that Word uses to get the data might have got 
in the way.

It would be pretty helpful if you could send me some test data (i.e. not 
real data) created the way you usually create it (because the chances that 
I'll enter the data the same way you do are slim). You can remove "KillMaps" 
from my e-mail and e-mail me some if you like.

It might help to know whether your addresses are all either Hebrew 
characters or Latin characters, or whether some are mixed. If mixed, is 
Hebrew/Latin mixed within single lines or is each line a single type of 
text? (Actually, it isn't so much the characters as whether you are having 
to alter the direction of typing or not, e.g. to enter digits. If you have 
various mixes is there any pattern as to what prints and what does not?

Excuse me again for being "computer illiterate" but when I send you the test 
data, do you want it to be how I enter it in the directory or how it prints 
in the address block?  And what do you mean by the way I usually create it? 
I enter each field in the directory as it's labeled on top of each column. 
Since that's probably not what you mean, what do you mean?
the Hebrew addresses are four lines, all in Hebrew, the numbers are entered 
in Hebrew, without changing to English.  My return address is two lines of 
English and two lines of Hebrew (although my return address is not entered 
in the directory, so that might not have anything to do with the problem.)
I just made a test with two lines in Hebrew and 2 lines in English for one 
of the addresses and another address with all lines in Hebrew.  Only the 
mixed address printed (and correctly) but the all Hebrew address didn't 
print at all!
Thanks for pursuing this matter with me.

I just did another test: if I add an extra line at the bottom or in the 
middle of the address consisting of only one English letter, then all the 
other four or five lines of all Hebrew text print okay.  However, if the 
extra English line is just a period or a dash, then nothing prints.  It has 
to be a letter!  Does that make sense to you?

What I reall mean is "do whatever you usually do to enter Hebrew addresses."

In principle, you might think that it doesn't or shouldn't matter how you 
insert a character - you should end up with the same thing. But that's not 
necessarily the case because Word (for example) does not rely solely on the 
characters entered for its information about text direction. It also records 
directional information.

I'm not a regular Hebrew user. So for example, you may have a Hebrew 
keyboard. I don't. That means that in order to enter Hebrew text, I either 
have to
 a. enable a Hebrew keyboard in Windows and know which keys on my QWERTY 
keyboard correspond to which Hebrew characters or
 b. use a virtual keyboard or
 c. emulate what you are doing by picking charcters from (say) Windows 
Character map one by one.
 d. insert test data programmatically

Whatever I do, it probably isn't the same as what you do. That may mean that 
the data I save has differences from the data you save, and that may result 
in differences in the way the data is handled when we merge.

FWIW I'm going to be offline for a few days now but will try to pick this up 
again after that.

Since my Word 2007 is configured for Hebrew and English, I press Alt-Shift 
to change from one language to the other.  When I send you the test data, do 
you just want the Hebrew addresses printed out as if I were typing an 
envelope on a typewriter, or do you want each bit of information (first 
name, last name, address line 1, address line 2, etc) under its appropriate 
column heading?

OK, I think you've given me enough info. to try the same thing myself here 
when I next have a chance.

If you want to send something it would actually be the data file that 
contains your merge data (you have to save it at some point when you create 
a new "address list" in Word, and in Word 2007 it will have a .mdb 
extension.

I made a test data file of three addresses (with an .mdb extension) and 
tried to send it to you as a file attachment to a "reply group"-email but I 
got the error message: "Windows Mail could not post your message. Subject 
'Re: won't print address on envelopes', Account: 'Microsoft Communities', 
Server: 'msnews.microsoft.com', Protocol: NNTP, Server Response: '437 (648)

Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 437, Error Number: 0x800CCCA9".  How am I 
supposed to send you the data?
Did you see my other reply that if I add an extra line of one English word 
to an all-Hebrew address, it prints the whole thing okay?
