How do I reuse the format or text of an existing letter?
Reusing Format of Existing Letter
If you want to reuse the format and/or text of an existing letter, Word 97's Letter Wizard makes it easy. Open the document you want to emulate, then select Tools/Letter Wizard from the menu bar. When applied to an existing letter, the Letter Wizard 'reads' the document and displays a tabbed dialog box that lets you change only the key parts of the letter (such as the sender and recipient info). You aren't forced through every step of the Wizard.
