Default Substitute for Letter Wizard

I suspect that the method shown at http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm
will also still work.

Yep--Microsoft really dropped the ball on that one. To heck with Mail
Merge. Sensing that you might be using Word 2007, that's why I
suggested that you add the address book to the Quick Access Toolbar.

Right-click the Quick Access Toolbar, and choose Customize Quick
Access Toolbar. Set Choose commands from: to Commands Not in the
Ribbon. About halfway down the first page of A commands, locate
Address Book... Click on it, and click Add. If you don't like where
it is, you can use the Up and/or Down buttons to move it.

Once you have this on your QAT, it doesn't really matter which letter
template you use.

BTW... if you still have your old Word's templates, the letter wizard
from earlier versions still works fine in Word 2007. I copied all of
mine when I upgraded my computer, so I still have that "library" to
choose from when I'm in a hurry and don't want to spend a lot of time
looking online for what I need.

Good luck...

2007, and I am very disappointed! Microsoft's answer is to use mail
merge, which is not as fast nor convenient, plus a template has to be
constructed.
Why they took the ability out of Outlook to send letters is beyond
me, but then again I'm just a consumer.

Any help would be most appreciated.
