Hello,
I am making an Excel database of all my friends and family so that
next Christmas I won't have to go find all of their addresses again.
I would like to figure out how to put a "print envelope" VBA button on
my Excel page. The button would take the appropriate cell values and
print them onto an envelope. Can anyone explain how to do this?

thanks,

Andy
