I have WordPerfect 10 in my office and the tech support cannot figure this out either...but whenever I print 3 copies of a document and then request an envelope to be printed, it prints three envelopes and not one....how do I set it up so that the default only prints one envelope at a time.

Thanks

if you set the 3 copies to print for the document and do an envelope right behind that job, Wordperfect "memorizes" that setting until the complete print job is finished. I would recommend printing the envelope first, then tell the printer to print 3 copies of the document.
 
There is a method for printing an envelope after printing the letters.

It envolves creating a macro the steps are listed below

Add the macro to the tool bar:
1. Right-click your menu bar and choose Edit
2. Go to the Macro tab, click Add Macro, navigate to the envelope macro in the network directory F:/WP10 Macros, and select the macro
3. If the macros are only located on the network (no copy on the hard drives), answer "yes" or "no" depending on whether you want the macro to be saved with the full path or not. (You would want to save it with the full path if any of your users may not list this macro directory as either their default or supplemental macro directory. If everyone is going to list is as a default or supplemental macro directory, then it really doesn't matter which way you answer.) The macro will be placed on the menu bar as the last button.
Copy the envelope icon from the current envelope button:
4. Double-click the current envelope button, click Edit, then Copy (then Cancel or OK twice to get back out).
5. Double-click the new macro button, click Edit, then Paste (then OK twice to get back out. Your macro button should now look just like your old envelope button.
Remove the old envelope button, move the new one into its place, and save the change:
6. Drag the old envelope button off of the tool bar and move your new envelope button into its place.
7. Click OK on the tool bar editor screen.

Add the macro to the menu bar:
8. Right-click your menu bar and choose Settings
9. Highlight your current menu bar (if not already highlighted) and choose Edit.
10. Repeat steps 2 and 3 above. The macro will be placed on the menu bar, to the right of the last menu.
Make the new menu item look like the regular envelope menu item, remove the old one, move the new into its place, save the change:
11. Rename the new menu item: double-click it and in the "menu item" field type: En&velope (the & symbol makes the next letter - the "v" be underlined).
12. Drag the new menu item into the Format menu next to the current (old) Envelope menu item.
13. Drag the old Envelope menu item off of the menu bar
14. Click OK on the menu editor screen.

Save the changed template
15. Close WordPerfect. (Then re-open it.)

Make the same changes to the other template:
16. In Tools | Settings | Files | Template tab, switch your default template to the other of the two networked templates
17. Repeat steps 1-15 above
