Vista - Envelopes won't print

I'm running Microsoft Word 2007. When I go into Mailings/Envelopes and add a
recipient's address (I usually change Fonts from the Default), then hit
Print, nothing happens at the printer. The image on my monitor goes from the
Envelope set-up screen to a blank Microsoft Word document screen. I've got an
envelope snuggly tucked into the printer slot. Tried this multiple times
without success. I wonder if I'm the only person who's thought about pitching
Vista and going back to XP Pro.
Thanks for any suggestions.

The way I print envelopes is to highlight the name and address in the Word
document, say a letter, and then go through the printing routine (for me
Tools>Letters and Mailings>Envelopes & Labels>) and enter a return address
if required. This works in Vista and previously I have used XP, 98 and 95.

I tried your way (with a blank Word doc) and it didn't work for me either.

Perhaps there is another way, but you may wish to try what I have suggested.

Thanks. It's a pain...but else is new with Vista?

Like Bill, I also have Word 2003, and I usually open a document containing
addresses, highlight, and print.

BUT....
I just opened Word to a blank document, went to Tools - Letters and
Mailings - Envelopes & Labels..

I first tried selecting a contact from my Contact list, added it to the
Delivery Address, and it printed fine.

Then I tried typing in a name & address, and that also printed fine.

Both times took a little longer than I expected, but they printed ok.

Hey Dave, you are correct - I found the envelope from the blank document in
the print queue eventually. Really slow getting there, Whether this is
because of Vista I don't know, but my "normal" method works just the same as
in XP and previous versions. I've been using Vista for over 12 months now.
