Microsoft Word provides an Agenda Wizard for the creation of an Agenda and Minutes form. The wizard does not prompt you to modify character formatting such as font, point size, and so forth. This article describes how you can use the Agenda Wizard to create your own custom wizard.
NOTE: Microsoft does not support the modification of its wizards or templates. Modifications done by the user are at the user's risk and constitute no obligations or warranties, either written or expressed, by Microsoft.
NOTE: The Agenda Wizard is not installed by the Word 98 Macintosh Edition Setup program. If you installed Word 98 Macintosh Edition from a compact disc, the Agenda Wizard and other wizards are located in the ValuPack:Templates:Word for Windows Template folder. To use them, copy them to the Templates folder.
