You could use form fields (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to), but I think
for a letter you would require something more readily editable, in which
case perhaps you want MacroButton fields; see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...acroButton.htm.
OTOH, if you're creating "form letters" (multiple letters at one time to
different recipients), then what you want is a mail merge; see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...AMailMerge.htm
