MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / April 2007how do you easily create a new letter to an outlook contact
how do you quicly & easily create a new letter to an outlook contact in office 2007? Mercifully, the "New Letter to Contact" Wizard no longer exists. It never worked. It was best to shoot it cleanly through the head. Done deal. Clarify what function you need that you feel is now missing.

This was functionality that I found really useful in 2003 and I must say that the Wizard always worked from me. Are you aware of any convenient shortcut methods for replicating what the Wizard did that might exist in 2007 > Mercifully, the "New Letter to Contact" Wizard no longer exists. It never > worked.

The closest you can come is simply to use Word's Insert Address function. Good luck finding it, though. They really buried it this time. You will need to add it to Word's QAT, and you'll only find it in the "All Commands" section. Do you ever get the feeling Microsoft no longer believes in the integration of the applications in the Office Suite? There seems to be less and less with each new version.

I was quite accustomed to using the New Letter to Contact in 2003 version, however now I am at a loss to quickly develope a letter without typing all information (Address, Date, Closing, ect...). 2007 Word does not seem to be user friedndly and I truely miss the ability to create letters on the fly. Any help would be gratly appreciated. > The closest you can come is simply to use Word's Insert Address function. > Good luck finding it, though. They really buried it this time.

I looked for "Insert Address " function as you suggested in the "All Commands" prompt, I didn't see it. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place though I don't think so, could it be names something else. Another thing I noticed, I had to add the "Save As" function inorder to save a document under a different name. I am not overly thrilled with the changes in 2007, it would seem to me MS is trying to force the move to a paperless business world, but my customers are not as willing to convert to the digital domain. > Why don't you try what I posted? > >I was quite accustomed to using the New Letter to Contact in 2003 version, [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > >> >> > in > >> >> > office 2007? Are you looking in the customization dialog for the QAT in Word? It's called "Address Book..."

OK, that cuts down on some key strokes, I still have to add Job title, company name and closing information. I have to say I liked the way 2003 worked over this piece of trash. > Are you looking in the customization dialog for the QAT in Word? It's called > "Address Book..." [quoted text clipped - 52 lines] > >> >> >> > in > >> >> >> > office 2007? I understand. Integration between Outlook and Word has become more a joke than a reality. Have you asked in a Word group whether you can customize how the Insert Address function is controlled? We never get any useful information on how that is done. Word users usually get it before we do. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > OK, that cuts down on some key strokes, I still have to add Job title, > company name and closing information.

Could you share with me how you were able to get New Letter to a Contact to work in MS Office Outlook 2003. I have been trying for some time and all I get with my templates is the address and name. The body of my template is never included. I have created the template. Entered the data fields I wanted merged in and save with LTR or Letter in the name. I see my template in the list, but when I select it, I just get the contact's name & address. > I was quite accustomed to using the New Letter to Contact in 2003 version, > however now I am at a loss to quickly develope a letter without typing all [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > >> > in > > >> > office 2007? |
