How do I Print A7 envelopes with Microsoft Word, and why does Word not support by default?

Absurd that word does not support this by default.  I have scoured the web, and there are people asking this same question going back to 2002.  C'mon Microsoft, get it together, and start reading this stuff so you can start making software that people actually want. 

Does anyone have a usable workaround?

Answer

Change the default printer to Microsoft XPS or OneNote 2010 and try to print. If printing from Microsoft XPS or OneNote 2010 works fine, update the drivers for the problem printer.

Answer
The ability of Word to use any paper size is dictated by the printer driver and not the application. Word can only format what the current printer driver will allow. If the driver does not have a particular envelope size then use the next larger size and make any adjustments to the layout using the margins.

You may find it easier to start from a template - see http://www.gmayor.com/changing_envelope_layout.htm where you will find a link to automated templates in #10 size. Change the page size, margins and address layout style  frame to give the appearance that you want. Then use the resulting template to create envelopes.
