Beginning with Word 2000, templates are installed or not installed. Go into
Add/Remove Programs control panel and alter your Word installation to
include the various templates.
Insertion points - macrobutton fields.

The letter templates that come with Word are no great shakes as letterhead,
but 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.
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)

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

Hope this helps,
Where do I find the business templates (for various types of business
letters, office memos, etc.) I am running Word 2000; & can't seem to locate
them.
(I would create my own...but also need insertion points.)
Thanks,
