Templates/ Wizards.
I didn't install Word wizards and templates in the beginning. Now, I don't
have a disc to do so, and I can't find any non-specialty templates online. I just want the default ones... stuff like "Professional Letter" and just mere stuff that you would send to friends, etc... I really don't know how to explain it very well, but I hope this was good enough. I appreciate any assistance you might offer. |

Hi Faust
The Elegant Faxes and Professional Letters are part of the Word program itself. You can get templates from http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...s/default.aspx or you can make your own by following the instructions at Creating a Template - The Basics (Part I) http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart1.htm and Creating a Template (Part II) http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm Hope this helps.

Hey... Shauna and Charles. I appreciate the information, and I realise that
I didn't really explain very well, but I was kind of wondering something else. In the previous versions of Word (pre-2003... specifically 98, and perhaps others... but 98 is one I am positive of), it came with a set of pre-existing, very general templates... none of these templates you have to download that are things so non-general, it almost hurts. They're stuff like, "a template if you recently were divorced by your wife, and fired from your job for going postal with a .357 Magnum revolver, whereas you became so angry, you shot a German Shepherd and now need to write an apology letter to the owner." I'm not talking about things ithat/i specific... just VERY general templates/wizards. Anywho, help is appreciated (that which you've already offered, and whatever might be offered in the future).

In versions Word 2000 and later you need to install the templates when you
install Word. Some are installed in the default installation, others are not. Do a custom modification of your installation to get the others. 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. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

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) Some other pages to look at: Letterhead Tips and Instructions http://home.earthlink.net/~wordfaqs/Letterhead.htm Letterhead Textboxes and Styles tutorial http://addbalance.com/word/download....StylesTutorial Template Basics http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm How to Create a Template - Part 2 - essential reading http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Custom...platePart2.htm Word "Forms" http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordw...rces.htm#Forms and Word for Word Perfect Users http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordperfect.htm if you are coming from a WP environment (or even if you are not). If you are interested in creating templates that will work with the letter wizard or use that wizard, you should look at the chapter on Advanced Document Formatting in Using Office 2003 (or whatever your version is), Special Edition, by Ed Bott and Woody Leonhard. It has detailed instructions including instructions on getting the fields you want from your Outlook Contacts for addressing a letter. (Chapter 19 of SE Using Office 2003) You should be able to get this through your public library or at Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/IS...ncecheckbookA/ Finally, take a look at the letter templates that come with Word. While they are no great shakes as letterhead, they do use styles and AutoText lists very well. If you use the same style names that are used in those templates in your own letterhead for the same parts of the document, you will have better luck with using the built-in AutoText entries in Word.
