I seldom need to write a letter that will be sent in postal mail, but that need has surfaced today. I'll compose the letter in WORD, and it would be helpful if there were a template for that.
Is there?
Thanks for you help,

    Yes. Word includes built-in templates for business letters that can be used on Windows and in Word for the web.

    To use a letter template in Word for Windows:

    1. Open Word.
    2. Select File > New.
    3. In the search box, type Letters and press Enter.
    4. Browse the available letter templates and select one that fits the need.
    5. Click Create to open it, then replace the placeholder text with the own content.
    6. Save the document as a normal .docx file when finished.

    To use a letter template in Word for the web (Microsoft 365):

    1. In a browser, go to Word for the web.
    2. Select File > New > Browse templates.
    3. In Search Word templates, type Letters.
    4. Choose a letter template and open it.
    5. Edit the placeholder text with the own letter content. The file is saved automatically.

    When the letter is ready, it can be printed (Ctrl+P) or shared electronically using Share > Copy Link.

    If a custom business letter layout is preferred (for example, with firm letterhead), a document can be set up once and then saved as a template (.dotx) for reuse.
