ID: Q211985

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word 2000

SUMMARY

The Letter Wizard default information is reset to blank if the global template (Normal.dot) is renamed or deleted.

MORE INFORMATION

In Microsoft Word 2000, all default information for the Letter Wizard is now stored as AutoText entries in the Normal.dot template. This is different from the other wizards in Word where the default information is stored in the Windows Registry.

The following table lists the items from the Letter Wizard that are stored as AutoText entries in the Normal.dot file:


   Item                     Letter Wizard Dialog Tab   AutoText Name
   ----------------------   ------------------------   -------------------

   Sender's Name            Sender Info                Signature
   Job Title                Sender Info                Signature Job Title
   Company                  Sender Info                Signature Company
   Writer/Typist Initials   Sender Info                Reference Initials
   Recipient Name           Recipient Info             Inside Address Name

NOTE: If you rename or delete the Normal.dot template, the above information is lost. You may want to back up or copy the Normal.dot template.
