The envelopes and labels wizard recalls a former address used. I use a form
letter for different clients and when selecting the address, going to Tools
and following the wizard to create a label, it merges two addresses - the
original address created when the letter was created and the new address.
The only address I can edit is the new address, the old address is locked or
hard coded.

What am I missing?

Return address or addressee?

Your problem is that you are using a document as the basis for new
documents, rather than a template. Use a template. Put macrobutton fields
where you currently have address information. See
http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide...tm#MacroButton,
http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm and
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/TblsFl...acroButton.htm for more
about macrobutton fields.

For more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog,
and locations of templates folders see
http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm.

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)
