Is it possible that the ability to create a letter from an Outlook contact
information has been omitted from Outlook 2007 Beta, or have I just missed it?

Entirely possible.

Letter to Contact has been DNR for years.

Now, you know that's not so. <g> It's there in Outlook 2003. It's just that most people never find it.

Unfortunately, Outlook 2007 does away with a number of useful commands like that. The one I miss is New Appointment with Contact.

Task, if you want to provide feedback on this missing command, get the Send a Smile tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A2E1F4E2-BC0F-4403-B09F
-7A677D55F274. This tool will transmit your comments and a screenshot back to Microsoft. As Jensen Harris explains at http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh/archive/2006/06/23/644160.aspx, all SaS comments do get read and routed to the right people at Microsoft.

I was just going to ask how to get the new appointment from contact command
but sadly you've confirmed its not there. Until someone figures out how to
get it back I drag a contact to the calander and cancel the invitation.
