Do the initial set-up using the mail-merge dialog, and pick a standard size
close to (or probably large than) the size you want.

Then modify the layout in File|Page Setup.

However, what works depends partly on what you printer does. You may find
for example that what actually works is specifying a Letter or A4 layout,
landscape, where you just confine the text to the area that corresponds to
an envelope-sized part of the paper, and perhaps fix the margins to match.
Difficult to predict!

you.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?ZW1lcmFsZGdyZWVucw==?=,

The installed printer driver determines what paper/envelope sizes are
available to you in the Word interface. Usually, the best approach to take
when a papersize is offered is NOT to set a custom paper size in File/Page
Setup (although you can try it, but my printer doesn't react kindly to it).

Instead, I take the next larger paper size and set the MARGINS such that the
actual print area is what would fit on the envelope (or whatever).
