This is what I want to do:

- Select a contact in Outlook
- Transfer some of the contact details into a standard Word document (in
this case a custom fax-header sheet). The contact details are Name, Company,
Tel Nr, Fax Nr., but the fields are formatted in a table within the Word
Document.

Is there a way of adding a macro to Outlook so that the fields are
transferred over to the Word Document from the contact that is open?

I have seen the method of using the "Insert Address" function in Word, but I
find this cumbersome because of the way the contacts are displayed and I
can't see how I can make them fit into the cells in my table.

See if the techniques listed at http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/startletter.htm help.
