    Note that this procedure is used only in desktop Word. The version of Word that runs in a web browser (which is also part of Microsoft 365) doesn't have a Mailings tab or an Envelope dialog.

    If you want to print envelopes in Word Online, you must first create an envelope in desktop Word, save that as a .docx file, and upload it to OneDrive. Then you can use Word Online to make a copy of the envelope file, fill in the delivery address, and print it.

    To print a single envelope in Microsoft Word for Microsoft 365:

    Open Word and create a new blank document. Go to "Mailings" > "Envelopes." Enter the mailing address in "Delivery address" and your return address in "Return address." Click "Options" to choose envelope size and adjust printing options. Load the blank envelope into the printer as shown in the "Feed" box. Click "Print" to print the envelope. For adjustments, use the "Options" button before printing.

    there is no mailings on my blank document

    The Mailings tab is not available in the online version of Word (nor, I think, in the mobile versions).

    See Compare Word features on different platforms. (this is an archival copy) current page is Word Features Comparison: Web vs Desktop.

    • These programs are all named Word and they are all created and published by Microsoft.
    • They all can edit the same document files that have the same file structure. Some of the programs have no control over some of the document structures.
    • But, they are different programs with different features and controls.

    As of December, 2023, the most powerful Word program, with the most features, is the Windows desktop application from Microsoft 365. I do not expect that to change. The perpetual license version Word 2021 is very close as far as features but does not receive new features as added.

    The Macintosh desktop application is second with number of features. The things available in the Windows version not yet on the Mac version include Content Controls, Building Blocks, UserForms, and ActiveX. It can use, but cannot create, or modify most Content Controls. AutoText is a Building Block that the Mac can and does use.

    The browser version of Word – Word Online – has a Transcribe feature that has recently been added to the Windows desktop version of Microsoft 365’s Word. It also has the ability to Export to PowerPoint (although not that usefully). Otherwise, the browser version has far fewer features and editing in it has been reported to mess up automatic numbering. Chromebooks use a version of this or of the Android mobile app This can only be used with documents stored on OneDrive or SharePoint. Differences between using a document in the browser and in the Word desktop application. I would use this for note taking and for quick viewing/printing, but not for editing. Especially not for editing long or complex documents. The ability to mess these up is too high.

    The mobile applications (Android/IOS, etc.) vary somewhat but have far fewer features. I would use them for note taking and for quick viewing/printing, but not for editing. Especially not for editing long or complex documents. Primarily these can only be used with documents on OneDrive or SharePoint*. (Usually, you can get at documents on your local device, but it is tricky.)* What you can do in the Microsoft 365 apps on mobile devices with a Microsoft 365 subscription See also Word for Android Phones Help, Word for Android Tablets Help,  Word for iPhone Help, Word for iPad Help.

    Note that the statements about capabilities and usefulness are my opinions, not anything from Microsoft. They are based on my use and on my observations over the years here and in other Word forums.
