Yes, the Organizer is a better way. I so seldom use it that it didn't

Yes, that's what I sd do, use custom templates.
How do I get started with that, so that the styles will be there when I am
writing a regular letter?
Will I have to open up the customized template instead of Normal.dot or
use the organizer to copy from 1 to other every time?
