Default How do I access Letter Wizard in Word 2007

You can insert addresses (from Outlook) using the insert address tool or
with vba (http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm ) so it is still a better
plan to create your own templates than to use the letter wizard.

I've never used the Letter Wizard (though did use a similar
UserForm-based solution in Word 2.0), but it seems to me that its
greatest advantage would have been the ability to insert addresses
from an address list (the Word 2.0 version saved these as "Glossary,"
i.e., AutoText, entries); now that Word will use only the Outlook
address book, this would be of no value to me. I do use Bill Coan's
DataPrompter to create UserForms for my letter templates, but
addresses must still be typed in manually or pasted in from another
source.

If moved to the User Templates folder, they appear to work after a
fashion, but there are essential differences between the default
normal templates of 2007 and earlier versions that can lead to some
odd formatting. Of those I have tried the fax wizard appears to be
only partially compatible, but the calendar wizard works quite well.

On balance, for letters and faxes, I would recommend creating your
own template.

As they were just based on user forms, there is no reason that they
could not be used in Word 2007.

Did someone say that they could still be used if you had saved them
from previous versions?

The agenda wizard, envelope wizard, fax wizard, letter wizard,
memo wizard, pleading wizard, and résumé wizard features were
removed from Word 2007.
