This has got to be easy, but not for me. I want to send a letter to a
business contact. I have my own leterhead template. How do I get my
template into the wizzard options. Or how do I change the wizarrd options to
look like my template.

Thank you in advance
 
If you want the template to be in the "New Letter to Contact" wizard then you
need to create a template in Word and save it to the folder that holds your
office templates. You can specify this folder in Word under Tools | Options.

An alternative would be to launch a mail merge from Outlook to an existing
Word document.
 
Guy, Thanks for responding. I opened the template that I created, went to
tools and options, but did not see any action I could take that would place
this document in the wizzard. Can you lead me a little farther on this
solution?

The mail merge concept although valid is a long way to go to write an
individual letter.

Three options.

1. Mail merge, which is what most of us are doing
2. Open the document in Word, and then click File -> Send To -> Mail
recipient, which will turn it into an e-mail message (or attachment, if
that's what you want).
3. Right-click your document, choose Send To -> Mail Recipient, which will
turn it into attachment

While you probably can specify default new templates, I would find it
cumbersome. Besides, BCM has a yet another BCM-specific way :) Marketing
campaigns.
Business Contacts should be designated as an email address book for this to
work. Most of the time that's done by default, but you can double-check by
right-clicking Business Contacts, choosing properties, then Outlook Address
Book, and checking the "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book" checkbox
then clicking OK to get out of these boxes. This procedure works for both
2003 and 2007.
