I'm trying to create an Outlook 2002 macro that will
simplify the mail merge process with specific existing
templates. Basically, I would like to create some menu
items that are only accessible when contact(s) are
selected, that will allow one-click mail merging and
printing of letters, mailing labels, faxes, etc. It would
be ideal if this can be accomplished without Word having
to open.

I have VB experience, but am unfamiliar with developing
for Office XP. How difficult is it to write something
like this? Does anyone have any tips or suggestions for
books or websites?

Thanks for your help!
