Hi Suzanne,
Thanks for answering my post. In your article about making a template for
letters, you stated:
"As for the recipients name, there are various ways to get Word to insert
this automatically, but they are beyond the scope of this article."
Could you provide a link to something that discusses these various ways,
please?

In WP10, (pardon me for saying that out loud here) I was taught to make
macros for doctor's addresses, basic body of letter, etc. Easy! How
to
do
it in Word or what is "the way it should be done"?
This eliminated a lot of repetitive typing of the same thing. The
letters
were all different (not a form letter) and the address on each letter
was
different from the rest (not same letter going to many different
addresses).
For the life of me, I am lost! Need training fast! Would like to do
it
the
"right" way
right from the start!
In WP, for instance, the macro for a doc's address (which I had about
300
or
so) would include the spacing between the date of letter and then the
address, Subject line and the Dear Dr. Whatever that the particular
doc
required.
I used a different macro that supplied the basic body of the letter,
the
things the doc always said, including the closing, spacing, etc. such
as:
March 12, 2010
Thank you for referring M to me. I saw in the office on H past ocular
history is otherwise unremarkable.
H past medical history is positive for
On examination currentlly, h vision was 20/ in the right eye and 20/ in
the
left eye.....
Blah blah
Kindest regards,
Dr.s name
initials
I need a way to "feed" a basic body of a letter that I can add to (not
typeover) from dictation and also send macros or whatever way to add
the
address the letter will go to, etc. Each document may have 20
different
letters to 20 different doctors. I am trying to make the switch to
Word
2007. I have so many addresses and so many AutoCorrect entries, etc.,
to
add. Sigh!
Thanks a million for any help....Sherry
