subject: macro + printing enveloppes

Hello All,
At the office, we're using Word 6.0  Now, I've got this weird problem.
I'm cutting and pasting an adress, provided by another (our own) application 
into the tools-enveloppes and labels-menu.  This works just fine.
BUT...  Because we're using these pre-printed enveloppes, the delivery adress 
and the return adress -using the "auto" position- print into the pre-printed 
text.  I can change this by adjusting the printing position "from left" and 
"from top" for both the delivery adress and the return adress.
NOW...  My question : I've been trying to develop a macro, changing these 
printing positions "from left" and "from top".  Unfortunately, once the macro 
is recording, I can't stop it when I'm in the tools-enveloppes and 
labels-menu unless I cut and paste something into the delivery adres window 
and push PRINT.
Anyway, in short : I try to develop a macro :
- opening the tools menu,
- selecting enveloppes and labels,
- selecting options,
- and then changing the printing position "from left" and "from top" for
  both the delivery adress and the return adress
- and then the macro should STOP (so that I can paste my adress and print) !
Word doesn't seem to save the new printing positions.  Is this normal ?  Can 
this be saved ?
Any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated !  Thanks !
Greetz,
Luc
