MS Word templates for personal correspondence not available
I find it inexplicable that neither the Word product nor the online template
collections ofer any simple templates for personal correspondence. I would like to see some templates that do not have a huge company name or superfluous figures and drawings. How about some personal correspondence templates with just nice layouts, and simple line borders and typestyles? |

I find it inexplicable that there are people who can't write a personal
letter without third-party templates. Occasionally I receive personal letters with 'nice layouts', simple line borders and silver cherubs blowing trumpets, and all the other mawkish embellishments that seem to appeal to the brain dead. And right away I know the writer is an obnoxious half wit. "Alrod" wrote in message ...

Have you tried using the Letter Wizard in Word? If that doesn't work for
you, I guess I don't understand what it is you are looking for. If you know what you want, type it to look that way.

.... and then save the format as your template.
You may want to take a look at: How to set up letterhead or some other document where you want one header on the first page and a different header on other pages. http://www.addbalance.com/word/headersfooters.htm This gives step-by-step instructions. (It also has the following links) Some other pages to look at: Letterhead Tips and Instructions http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/Letterhead.htm Letterhead Textboxes and Styles tutorial http://addbalance.com/word/download....StylesTutorial Template Basics http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm How to Create a Template - Part 2 - essential reading http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm Word "Forms" http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordw...rces.htm#Forms and Word for Word Perfect Users http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordperfect.htm if you are coming from a WP environment (or even if you are not). If you are interested in creating templates that will work with the letter wizard or use that wizard, you should look at the chapter on Advanced Document Formatting in Using Office 2003 (or whatever your version is), Special Edition, by Ed Bott and Woody Leonhard. It has detailed instructions including instructions on getting the fields you want from your Outlook Contacts for addressing a letter. (Chapter 19 of SE Using Office 2003) You should be able to get this through your public library or at Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/IS...ncecheckbookA/ Finally, take a look at the letter templates that come with Word. While they are no great shakes as letterhead, they do use styles and AutoText lists very well. If you use the same style names that are used in those templates in your own letterhead for the same parts of the document, you will have better luck with using the built-in AutoText entries in Word.

Avery (and I suspect others make labels/cards for this purpose). You can
select these in the envelope/label wizard. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
