How do I set up a Template for a letter in Word 2007

[EJB]

I want to set up a template for Word 2007 that works like the wizard in
Office 2000. I want to create a date field, address field that I can use
insert from the Office 2007 Contacts, same for CC and I'd like to just type
the number of enclosures, not have to create the line each time its needed in
a letter. Any suggestions and guides would be most appreciated. Ideally I'd
like to be able to get the same result from my template or guide that the old
wizard did for me.

I'm very dissapointed with the new Word 2007. The help section seems to
take you to the web and the templates on the web as its default instead of
showing you how do do things on the desktop.

Templates will work much the same in Word 2007 as they did in 2000 - I am
still using the same letterhead templates, slightly modified to take account
of the new version of Autotext but otherwise they are the same. See
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm (which covers the basics
of letter head creation) and http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm (which
will show you how to pull data from contacts for your fields) for starters.

Graham,

I looked over your site and all the info on Macros. I'll try to work with
some of them tomorrow and will get back to you on how I do. I guess I was
comfortable with Office 2000 and I find Office 2007 and Word 2007 far less
intuitive than the earlier version.

I'll drop you a line to let you know how I make out.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my posts.

Best regards
