MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2008Import Contacts to Word to write letters
In my earlier versions of Outlook to could import the name and address from a Contact into Word so you could send them a letter. I can't find this useful tool in Outlook 2007. Any ideas? Take a look at the Mailings tab in Word 2007. > In my earlier versions of Outlook to could import the name and address > from a > Contact into Word so you could send them a letter.

I have over 1,800 contacts so when I want to do a letter to one individual, the amount of time it takes (and the number of steps required) seem much longer for this type of task. If I was doing the same letter to multiple people it would definately be quicker. > Take a look at the Mailings tab in Word 2007. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > useful > > tool in Outlook 2007.

You need to add the addressbook to the Quick access Toolbar. Click on the little arrow to the right of the bar, and choose "More Commands". Select "Commands not in the Ribbon" in the box "Use Commands From" and scroll down to Address Book. Highlight it, and click "Add". Then when in a new document, you can click the addressbook icon in the QAT, find your contact, click OK and it will automatically insert the address from that contact. HTH OK - but that is far less feature rich that in the older verison of outlook. The Name and Address is minimal when the letter has many datafields created. Eric I'd pay for a simple utility that whan a contact is selected a template is opened - filled in - and noted in i't history. > > Thanks - I found it but it is so much more difficult than the old version. > > I [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > HTH > OK - but that is far less feature rich that in the older verison of > outlook. > The Name and Address is minimal when the letter has many datafields > created. The name and address is the same as in the Mailing address box in the outlook contact. You can put as much detail as you like in that.... But it does not merge all the other data into the letter or proposal. I found a macro someone posted for businee.lett and business.email and it works great and give you a quick way to make a letter just does not post action to your journal. > > OK - but that is far less feature rich that in the older verison of > > outlook.
