MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2008How do you create a postal letter to a contact?
I have just recently upgraded from Office 97 to Office 2007. I want to send a postal letter to a contact. I cannot find that function in Office 2007 or in its Help. What do I do to send a postal letter to someone without having to re-type the contact information in Word? >I have just recently upgraded from Office 97 to Office 2007.

You do it the other way round from previous versions of Office. Open a new document in Word, and add the Address Book icon to your QAT. Then in the document, click on the Address Book icon, choose your contact, and the address will be inserted into your document. HTH I am having the same issue. Thanks for the help, but can we get in plain English? Where is the Address Book icon and what is a QAT? I have to add to the grumbles ... as long time Office user there is no reason simple functions such as this should become so obsure in the 2007 update. Very unfortunate.... and major waste of our time trying to run this stuff down. ------ and add the Address Book icon to your QAT. Then in the document, click on the Address Book icon, choose your contact, and the address will be inserted into your document. > >I have just recently upgraded from Office 97 to Office 2007.

The QAT is your Quick Access Toolbar - it's the little bar to the right of the Office button, above the ribbon. Click on the drop-down arrow to the right of the toolbar and add the Address book icon to it. Thanks. Did that, but now whenever I try to insert an address using this method, Word 07 crashes and an error message is sent to Mircosoft. Have not been able to simply create a letter for a single contact with this method. > >I am having the same issue. Thanks for the help, but can we get in plain > > English?

Then I suggest you post a message to microsoft.public.word.newusers with the exact contents of any error messages you get... Thanks for suggesting the "new users" group, but I found the fix on my own. Outlook needs to be set as the default profile for the address book to stop the crashes. Nearly 24 hours to get Office 2007 able to create a simple letter to a contact. What an endorsement. > > Thanks.

So why wasn't it? Outlook always makes itself the default email client on install unless you tell Windows to use something else. > Nearly 24 hours to get Office 2007 able to create a simple letter to a > contact. What an endorsement. Well not really - that would have happened in ANY version if Outlook was not the default email client... Apparently it does not. Outlook is the only e-mail client installed on this PC . I recently moved from Office 2003 to Office 2007. No other e-mail client has ever been installed on this PC. On this issue: When I added the address book icon to the Quick Access Toolbar I was asked to select a profile when I first used the insert function. Outlook was the only profile offered to select from. My point is, until I ticked the check box on that window asking if the Outlook profile should be the default I was getting the crashes. Just reporting what I'm seeing... and what fixed it. > > Thanks for suggesting the "new users" group, but I found the fix on my > > own.

Anytime you upgrade an Outlook version, you must create a new profile from scratch before things will work. It has been ever thus. Upgrade installations are not recommended.

Verify that your Outlook and Word versions match. Specify how you configured the Outlook Address Book and how it works in Outlook. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Thanks.
