The thing is, if you're going to make a template, why have the return
address on the right? Why not create bona fide letterhead, with your name
and address at the top? You deserve it! I often put the CREATEDATE field in
the First Page Header as well so that I can start typing with the inside
address (actually for that I use DataPrompter).

My workaround has been to create my own letter template - as Suzanne was
implying as the best approach. I have placed my address details into a
Text
Box at the right hand side. This leaves the left side free for simple
entering of the recipients details. As long as you don't intend to move to
a
new location in the next week, making the template saves time and effort.

I have also attached my own Envelope to the template because Word's
attempts
at envelopes leaves much to be desired!
