If you are using Word to create envelopes or postcards for your business, you may have a need to include a "placeholder" for stamps. You've seen these before—generally they are in the upper-right corner of business reply envelopes. They are a small rectangle containing words to the effect "Place Stamp Here. The Post Office will not deliver mail without postage". The wording varies, but you get the idea.
To easily create such an object on your envelopes or postcards, follow these general steps:
Figure 1. The Size tab of the Layout dialog box.
That's it! Your placeholder is on your envelope or postcard, and you are ready to print.
