As a recent convert from Word Perfect to Word, I'm having crossover issues... My main irk is that I do not seem to be able to insert a name and address from my contacts file into a document (I know I can insert it into an envelope, but I need to be able to insert it into the text of a document ie giving the receipient of the letter someone else's name and address without retyping it). Please help!
 
J,

You can do this in Word using the Insert Address command.
I don't think it is included on a menu or toolbar by
default, but you can add it by using
View>Toolbars>Customize. With the Commands tab select
Edit in the categoriex window and then in the command
window find Address Book ... and drag it to a toolbar or
menu of your choice.

For more on controling the address book layout in Word and
creating useful macros for the address book, see:

With your cursor where you want the address to be inserted click the Insert
Address button, it looks like an open book. (If that button is not present
select Tools | Customize | Command tab | In category window select Insert |
In Commands window scroll down until you see Address book | click on that
selection and drag it up to any active toolbar and let go.) Click the Insert
Address button if you are connected to Outlook you may be presented with
Choose Profile window. From this point on it should be the same as what you
do with the envelops. Welcome to Word. Hope this helps.

Thank You both! These little differences are what kept me away before now...but I'm learning.
