Proper address for a former state governor in the inside address

[Guest]

What is the proper address for a former state governor in the inside address
and the salutation?

 

[Guest]

Just like a former president, he should be refered to as Governor. If you
want to get technical I believe the proper salutation is Right Honorable
Governor So-and-so..

BTW this is a discussion group for Access the database product, but I really
liked your question so I responded!

You're asking in the wrong place. This newsgroup is for people
developing databases in Microsoft Access, not for writing style
questions!

Check "Terms of Address" in a good dictionary or style manual.

My GUESS (and not being a former governor, nor having met any, may be
all wrong) is

The Honorable Arnold Schwartzenegger

oops... he's not *former* quite yet...

Ummmmm. This deals with Microsoft Access in what way?

This is a technical newsgroup for questions about Access, not a grammar
newsgroup.

You can find this kind of information in the dictionary back matter.

Come on now Rick be nich about telling people that this is an Access group!

You'll need to find a more appropriate place to ask this question.

This newsgroup is for questions about using Access, the database product
that's part of Office Professional.
