Printing Return Addresses on #10 Envelopes

[SpartyBob24]

Tried to shrink the left margin when printing a #10 envelope so that the return address is closer to the left side of the envelope, since the default is .65" & is unprofessional looking. Couldn't do it. Found a 2013 post from "SophiasDad" in the forum (that's now archived) that offered a workaround -

set the Paper Size to A6, and then it prints just fine, with a 0.125" margin. If I really NEED a full width #10 addressing space (since A6 is 6" wide, it can't quite do the amount of #10 space you'd like, for very wide addressee's), you can always send a bunch of envelopes through once as A6 to get the return address on there, then take them out and reprint them using Envelope #10 paper size to get the addressee on.

While this solution works, its neither convenient nor efficient, so just checking to see if there's a better solution

One way to control the return address location on an envelope is to adjust Word > Styles formatting controls used to create the envelope frame for the Return Address.

Thanks, however while that solution allowed me to change Return Address frame in Word, when I went to print it on my HP printer, the Print Preview showed that the left side of the Return Address field had been cut off ... basically reverting back to the default left margin of presumably .65". So it didn't work.
