I am trying to create a letter template which, like those produced by Word's
own wizards, contains tab and content information (i.e. date, recipient's
address, salutation, etc.) Word brackets these terms, which are then
overtyped with letter-specific info. How do I make one of these, and re-use
it? And is this the standard way of making a personalized letter template?

If you're talking about MacroButton fields, they're one way (a UserForm
would be another). For more, see:

Many thanks. I'll study this tutorials and see if I have any follow-up
questions regarding particulars.
