[recipiant name] field on page two - how do I access to complete?

Using template proposal found on Microsoft site - has page two field hidden
called [Receipiant Name]. Cannot see in page layout, only on print preview
and of course when printout. Cannot determine how to access to enter name.
Does not carry over from page one.

You might include which template and which website (specifically).

I'm not familiar with that template. However, the way I get the recipient
name on my continuation pages of letters is to format the name of the
recipient (on the first page) using an Addressee First Line style which is
based on Body Text (is the same as Body Text except for the name). It is set
up to be followed by the Addressee style which has no space before. A
StyleRef field in the continuation header picks up the recipient name and
displays it when a second page is generated.

I suspect that what you are seening s a macrobutton field in the
continuation header, but that is just a guess.

Take a look at: How to set up letterhead or some other document where you
want one header on the first page and a different header on other pages.
http://www.addbalance.com/word/headersfooters.htm This gives step-by-step
instructions. (It also has the following links)

http://www.addbalance.com/word/wordperfect.htm if you are coming from a WP
environment (or even if you are not).

If you are interested in creating templates that will work with the letter
wizard or use that wizard, you should look at the chapter on Advanced
Document Formatting in Using Office 2003 (or whatever your version is),
Special Edition, by Ed Bott and Woody Leonhard. It has detailed instructions
including instructions on getting the fields you want from your Outlook
Contacts for addressing a letter. (Chapter 19 of SE Using Office 2003) You
should be able to get this through your public library or at Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/IS...ncecheckbookA/

Finally, take a look at the letter templates that come with Word. While they
are no great shakes as letterhead, they do use styles and AutoText lists
very well. If you use the same style names that are used in those templates
in your own letterhead for the same parts of the document, you will have
better luck with using the built-in AutoText entries in Word.

Hope this helps,
