Letters & Faxes

How to use the "Click here lines"	Point your I beam on the bolded here. Click and then type. Don't press the ENTER key unless you want an extra line.
Save the document	This is a regular file, not a template, so the template will not be over-written. Templates have .DOT extensions, Documents have .DOC extensions.
