Here we record the steps taken. 1. Found a "par avion" letter on Google and downloaded it 2, Imported the par avion clip art into Acrobat and converted it to pdf. Used the crop tool to crop the document show only the blue background was showing. Did a "SaveAs" on the background as an .eps file. Named the file airmail_bg.eps 3. Found on the Internet the sizes of common envelopes and select Monarch letter size: 7.5in x 3.875in. 4. Created this document with the headers above, then set the page size to \margins{0pt}{0pt}{0pt}{0pt} \screensize{3.875in}{7.5in} % height, width which matches the size of the Monarch envelope. 5. Use the airmail_bg.eps as a background, by inserting the web command \template[hiresbb]{airmail_bg}. The background did not quite fit due to rounding, so the highresbb was used. The optional parameter for \template just passes the arguments to the \includegraphics command. 6. We use the \put command, which is part of the picture environment. The picture environment is inserted by web package through the usetemplates option. 7. Using the "par avion" letter as a model---recalling that I have little talent for design and no knowledge of colors---I used used LaTeX commands to draw horizontal rules and vertical rules, leaving a 50pt x 50pt box in the lower right corner. I also place some appropriate text on the envelope, text that also appeared on the "par avion". My only original thought was the little airplane that appears in the lower right corner. 8. The file was compiled and converted to PDF. Now it is ready to be used as an eEnvelope. 9. Once in Acrobat, I saved the document, then did a SaveAs an .eps file. The use of the file aebMyEnv.eps is explained in myEnv_demo.tex. 10. The rest of the steps are contained in the demo file myEnv_demo.tex. \end{comment} \margins{0pt}{0pt}{0pt}{0pt} % left,right,top, bottom \screensize{3.875in}{7.5in} % height, width \DeclareDocInfo { university={\AcroTeX.Net}, title={APES: Custom eEnvelope}, author={D.
