Printer handles standard envelopes as shown in Specifications > Paper Handling > Supported Envelopes

Basics here:

Printing Envelopes (Windows)

Honestly, I have no idea whether Word 2007 is capable of dealing with this, though I would guess that the older Word software is similar enough to the "new stuff" that something like the following example would work.

Rabbits_and_Chickens_Test_Envelope_10_1

If your envelope is "custom sized", there are other considerations.

For example, it is likely that in addition to setting the envelope size to custom inside Word, you may as well need to have created a custom size paper form for your custom envelope size.

If the option to create a custom paper size form is available on your printer / software, the following document explains the setup (how to make the form):

 Creating Custom Paper Sizes

Next, create / print your custom envelope in Word.

Example

Rabbits_and_Chickens_Test_Envelope_7x5_2

Reminder: 

Double-check / adjust Envelope Options > Printing Options >  "Feed method"

Depending on your printer model and requirements for loading envelopes into the tray, you may need to adjust the rotation and / or other settings.

Hi Mr. D-Fu

many thanks for all of you at HP Community, to solve my problem with the envelope printing on  my 6 month old  HP Desk Jet 3637.

i followed all of your instructions, but still no success..

finally i used a third party software  " tweaking" and it works fine. i can print small and big envelopes with that program.

thanks again and keep helping old people like me

have a nice holy days

You are welcome.

I have read about the tweaking envelope printing software - I've not used it.

Glad to know it helped set the options needed.

Happy Printing.
