Introduction:
Winvelope 2.0 is a Windows 3.0 compatible utility that allows the
user to capture an address from any Windows document or screen and
then print the address on an envelope using a Hewlett Packard
compatible laser printer.
Features:
* Capture an address from any Windows application screen
and print it on a business size envelope.
* Manually input an address on-the-fly.
* Access an address book setup for Windows Cardfile to
select an address for printing.
* Optionally print envelope with or without a return
address.
* Adjustable address positioning.
* Supports HP compatible laser printers with both center
and side feed manual paper trays.
* Prints directly to the printer port without accessing the
Windows Printer Setup or Print Manager programs for fast
output.
System Requirements:
* Hardware capable of running Windows 3.0.
* Windows 3.0 software installed in standard or 386 mode.
* Windows NOTEPAD.EXE installed in the Windows
subdirectory. (necessary only to read this file online)
* Windows CARDFILE.EXE installed in the Windows
subdirectory.
* Hewlett Packard compatible laser printer.
Installation:
1. Create a directory on your harddisk for the
Winvelope files or use the Windows subdirectory and
copy all files from the Winvelope floppy disk to
your harddisk.
2. Install Winvelope in Windows Program Manager (or
substitute) using the following command line:
[d:][path] WV2EVAL.EXE
where [d:] is the drive containing the Winvelope
files.
3. You may want to launch Winvelope as an icon when
you start Windows so that it is always available.
To do this, modify the load= statement in the
[Windows] section of the WIN.INI file to include
WV2EVAL.EXE
[Windows]
load=[d:][path] WV2EVAL.EXE
Operation:
When you want to print an envelope, highlight the
address on any Windows application screen with the
mouse or keyboard and copy it to the Windows
Clipboard.
Double click the Winvelope icon to access the
utility, (You may need to restore your application
window if you have been running it maximized in
order to access the Winvelope icon).
Winvelope will require a minor setup the first time
you use it in order to setup the printer and to enter
your return address. If you need to adjust the address
position, each selection in the Printer Setup routine
moves the position 0.5 inches in the corresponding
direction for the Address and 2 character spaces for
the Return Address. If you have special positioning
needs beyond the scope of this adjustment routine,
Winvelope can be customized by the author at no
additional cost. Call, write, or Compuserve EMail for
details.
Place a business size envelope in the MANUAL FEED TRAY
of your laser printer and click the MERGE BUTTON to
retrieve the address from CLIPBOARD. You may also enter
an address by typing directly into the address box.
Click the PRINT BUTTON when ready to print.
You may want to access the address book feature, which
launches Windows CARDFILE and a file named ADBOOK.CRD.
This option allows you to search, retrieve and store new
addresses in a permanent file. Again COPY the correct
cardfile address to CLIPBOARD and EXIT or CLOSE CARDFILE.
If you've added a new address, be sure to SAVE the file
before you EXIT. If you already have a CARDFILE address
database setup you can change its filename to ADBOOK.CRD
and place it in the Winvelope subdirectory.
If you are using some other Windows database or address
book, contact the author about modifying Winvelope to use
it instead.
