I regularly insert names and address from Contacts into Word documents but
there seems to be a disconnect somewhere because the company name never gets
inserted - only the individual name and mailing address. What do I need to
do? Is it something to do with the way I save names by default, which is:
Company ( last/first name of individual)? This is an INFURIATING problem
with an otherwise handy feature.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge - Di

To learn about ways to control how an Address is inserted into Word from
Outlook, take a look here:

More recent versions of Office (XP and 2003) are less predictable when it
comes to inserting addresses. Modifying AddressLayout in Word 2002 will
apply only to addresses inserted into a document, but not to Envelopes or
Labels. The KB offers the following kludgy workaround:
