page design

[DP]

Hello. I have been having a problem with the 'Letter
Wizard' function of Word 2000. It automatically assigns a
page design to my letters, regardless of the type/style of
letter I choose. Nothing I do will clear this. I have had
to copy and paste the test of these letters onto a new
blank page to eliminate this. Any use of the Letter Wizard
automatically wil insert this design. Anybody have any
clues about what I can do about this? Believe me, I have
checked and unchecked all of the relevant boxes within
Letter Wizard. No go! Anybody have similar experiences? My
operating system is Windows ME, if that is useful.
Thanks...

DP

Hi Dp,

The Letter Wizard isn't really very talented; they'd have
better named it the Letter Wizard Apprentice.

About all you can do is influence where things are layed out
by using the style names the Letter Wizard "likes" in your
own template, and changing the definitions so that things end
up on the page where you want them.

Click in the various items on a page the Letter Wizard
generates and look at the style names - you'll see that a
different style name is used for each item.
