See also http://www.gmayor.com/changing_envelope_layout.htm which demonstrates how to configure the envelope tool to format the address.

Mail merge is overkill for a single envelope, but if you want to use that, then don't use the addressblock field. Use instead the individual fields that make up the address.

Let me explain what I am trying to do I have a Outlook.com email account and if I get a new contact when I am out I add it to my phone and that automatically updates the address book in outlook.com or if I add a new contact in Outlook.com it automatically updates to my phone.
Then if I need to send a letter I start word and select the Mailings tab and then the single envelope tab and then select the outlook.com address book and then select the contact I need Word get the address and places it on the envelope, all this works fine .

But the layout is not the same as in the address book post code has moved to the same line as the city? I can import an address from a excel file and the address layout it the same as in the excel file its just when I try it direct from outlook 2010.

The other problem is Word prints the address on the bottom third of the envelope and I would like it more in the centre of the envelope.
I will try what you have advised and see if that works
Thank you

Not sure what you mean (don't use the addressblock field. Use instead the individual fields that make up the address) how do I use the individual fields please
