I have a user who would like to click on a button (or two) within a specific
contact and create a fax cover sheet that automatically grabs pertinent info
(e.g. fax number, name, titles....etc).

Can this be done in any way shape or form in outlook?
 
I think everything you need to do that is available in Outlook, but
you'll
need some programming chops.

Basically you need to write an Outlook Add-in. The Add-in will add the
button
to the Contact toolbar, respond to the users click, grab the data from
the
Contact, and create the cover sheet--probably easist by bringing up a
template
in Word and filling in the fields.

It's not something a typical user can do, but there are many code
examples of
these kinds of things on MSDN, and millions of Office programmers
world-wide with the requisite know-how.
