[BlindTlk] What is the Easiest Way to Send Mail and work with Envelopes as a Congenitally Blind Person?

[Judy Jones]

Hi, Humberto,

Back in the day, we all wrote checks and addressed envelopes on the
typewriter.

Fast-forward to now. Where I worked, it was much more time efficient to
create a page of avery labels and use them as needed, so this is what I do
now. Yes, you can use your printer by following its instructions, but
labels are much quicker. I print out several sheets ahead of time and use
as needed. Same goes for our return address.

G int Word and go to the Mailings tab and follow instructions.
