Did someone say that they could still be used if you had saved them from
previous versions?

As g-n-o states, there are no wizards in Word 2007, but see

yet, but most of it will still apply).

Have you tried the Templates? In Word 2007 click on New-Installed Templates
and scroll through the (quite) extensive list of templates....

As they were just based on user forms, there is no reason that they could
not be used in Word 2007.

That's what I would have assumed.

If moved to the User Templates folder, they appear to work after a fashion,
but there are essential differences between the default normal templates of
2007 and earlier versions that can lead to some odd formatting. Of those I
have tried the fax wizard appears to be only partially compatible, but the
calendar wizard works quite well.
On balance, for letters and faxes, I would recommend creating your own
template.

I've never used the Letter Wizard (though did use a similar UserForm-based
solution in Word 2.0), but it seems to me that its greatest advantage would
have been the ability to insert addresses from an address list (the Word 2.0
version saved these as "Glossary," i.e., AutoText, entries); now that Word
will use only the Outlook address book, this would be of no value to me. I
do use Bill Coan's DataPrompter to create UserForms for my letter templates,
but addresses must still be typed in manually or pasted in from another
source.

You can insert addresses (from Outlook) using the insert address tool or
with vba (http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm ) so it is still a better
plan to create your own templates than to use the letter wizard.

Agreed. And I had added the Address item to my Insert menu at some point,
but then of course in Word 2003 it stopped working because I don't use
Outlook for email. It doesn't matter that you have addresses in the Outlook
Contacts folder; unless it is selected as your default email client, you
can't use it as an address book. <sigh>
Most of my letters fall into three categories:
1. Personal letters with no inside address. For these I have addressed
envelopes and/or labels saved as doc files and use those. For my kids I
actually have full sheets of addressed labels preprinted.
2. Business letters to a new recipient. This address wouldn't be in an
address book, anyway, so it's just as easy to type it into a UserForm.
3. Business letters to a previous recipient, in which case I usually just
pull up an old letter and use it as a "template."
