I want to create a report for envelopes versus labels - I know there is a
label wizard than you can select the label size etc but does an envelope
wizard exist?

Much thanks!

No there isn't.
But you don't need it.

Printing on an envelope is just another report.

First you must determine if your report is going to print in Portrait
or Landscape mode.
If the envelope feeds into the printer narrow side first, it will be
in Landscape.
If flap side first, portrait.

The below instructions are for Landscape.

Make a new report.
Place the Address labels at the left margin.
Size the width of the report just a bit wider than the labels.

Click File + PageSetUp + Page
Set the Paper Size property to the size of the envelope.
Since the envelope feeds in narrow side first,
set the Page Orientation to Landscape.
Then click on the Margins tab.
Set the Left and Top margins to print the address at the proper place
on the envelope.
To print on a #10 business envelope, for example, I set the Top margin
to 2.75" and the Left margin to 3" in Landscape.

Print a sample.
Readjust margin settings as needed

For Portrait mode, follow the above instructions, but, of course,
change the Page SetUp mode to Portrait, and adjust the margin settings
accordingly.

No, an envelope is a specific example of a report. Just set the page size to
the envelope size and fiddle until it is right.

Printing a permit is the "hardest" part since the PO is a bit more picky
about the location of that then the rest of the material.
