I have gone through a box of envelopes now trying every combination of
setting in word and on the printer.

I am inserting the envelops short side first on my printer. When
select short side first in Word, Word prints the envelope text rotated
at 90 degrees.

If I cheat and select long side first on word (though inserting short
side first) Word prints the envelope off the top. The last address
line sometimes show up.

How can i get word to rotate the envelope address 90 degrees to match
the envelope?

Make sure that you have the latest printer driver and that all Word updates
have been installed.

Seems like the right idea. But it appears there is no longer such an
entry in Office 2007.

Yes there is -
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Printername

where printername is the name of your printer.

Not sure this will help, but I found that (in another application) I had to
keep the Paper type (in the printer dialog) as 'Plain paper' so as to not
have the printer detect the paper size.

Also some information at this URL for HP printers:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01518768&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=1141647.

When I was playing around, I sometimes got a paper mismatch error: found
some help on that at:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&docname=c00189327
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00654323&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=1832915

Hope there may be some clues in there for you.
