3. You can now modify the letter template as you wish. Note that eClinicalWorks provides a file called Provider Setup Field Descriptions.xls which contains all the possible tags you might want to enter into a template to modify it.

You can use this file as a reference.

4. Save the template file with a new name.

5. Now you can use your new template file when you create a letter.
