In WP10, (pardon me for saying that out loud here) I was taught to make
macros for doctor's addresses, basic body of letter, etc. Easy! How to do
it in Word or what is "the way it should be done"?

This eliminated a lot of repetitive typing of the same thing. The letters
were all different (not a form letter) and the address on each letter was
different from the rest (not same letter going to many different addresses).
For the life of me, I am lost! Need training fast! Would like to do it the
"right" way
right from the start!

In WP, for instance, the macro for a doc's address (which I had about 300 or
so) would include the spacing between the date of letter and then the
address, RE: Subject line and the Dear Dr. Whatever that the particular doc
required.

I used a different macro that supplied the basic body of the letter, the
things the doc always said, including the closing, spacing, etc. such as:


March 12, 2010

Thank you for referring M to me. I saw in the office on H past ocular
history is otherwise unremarkable.

H past medical history is positive for

On examination currentlly, h vision was 20/ in the right eye and 20/ in the
left eye.....

Blah blah

Kindest regards,


Dr.s name

initials

I need a way to "feed" a basic body of a letter that I can add to (not
typeover) from dictation and also send macros or whatever way to add the
address the letter will go to, etc. Each document may have 20 different
letters to 20 different doctors. I am trying to make the switch to Word
2007. I have so many addresses and so many AutoCorrect entries, etc., to
add. Sigh!

Thanks a million for any help....Sherry
