Mary ... thanks for helping out ...
I hadn't found the MS KB article link you have provided,
however, it had a more relevant KB link imbedded in it:
WD2000: Envelope Address Positions Not Retained Between
Word Documents
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-
US;212130
However, after studying this latter KB article, I can see
that I would have to try to enter negative values in the
Format > Style > Modify Style > Frame fields to
permanently adjust my Envelope Address and Envelope
Return print positions 3 1/4 inches to the left. I did
not want to permanently alter my WD2000 templates just
yet as this approach seems off point to me. I doubt if
WD2000 would accept negative values in these fields
anyways.
I had seen the HP article you provided and there is
nothing new there that would be relevant to my issue.
If this is a (Win XP provided) driver issue, as I suspect
it must be, I would think that it would have been noted
by WD2000 users and MS by now. Very odd.
