Microsoft Word 2013 includes dozens of built-in envelope templates from which you can choose to create and print custom envelopes. You can use the templates to add return and recipient addresses or even electronic postage, if you have the appropriate software installed on your computer. Knowing where to find these templates and choosing the right one for your needs is essential to successfully using this helpful feature.
