Set up a blank template letter with fill in blanks
We type up letters of appreciation and just change a few general items, i.e.
who the letter is addressed to, the location where the help occurred, people's names, type of help. Is there a way to format a letter to show the blanks for filling in these items. By the way, it is usually 1 letter at a time, but different people will use the same template letter off of a share drive |

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles.

Although you could use form fields for this as Charles suggests, another
technique commonly used in the templates that ship with Word (and very easy to create) is MacroButton fields. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...acroButton.htm -- Suzanne S.
