I¹m a rookie at this, so please be gentle while I expose my ignorance. I
have just moved from MS Office X to MS Office 2004. Running Mac G4, OS
X.3.5. For years, I have been writing letters on a personal stationery
template, entitled Hals Stationery.dot which I open from a shortcut [alias]
on the desktop, write a letter and then Œsave as¹ Letter to XYZ.doc. With
the 2004 Word App, I get an error message informing me that I can¹t save a
template as a document. It presents me with compatibility issues, etc...but
doesn¹t tell me what to do. I¹ve been saving these letters with a .dot
suffix as a Stationery template...but intuitively understand that this
creates another template....an action I¹d like to avoid.
Question: How can I open my stationery template, write a letter and save as
a document with .doc suffix?
Sorry to be so wordy, but didn¹t have any idea how best to express myself.
