How can I import addresses from Vista Microsoft Mail contacts into Word 2007,
e.g. for envelopes and labels?
Peter Jamieson - 12 Mar 2007 16:31 GMT
I don't have Vista (geen nieuw ding hier :-) but you probably need to export
into a delimited format, then you that as the data source for a merge, But
maybe you can tell us what formats you can export to?

Thanks for suggestion.  The export options are a CSV file or "vCards",
described as a folder of .vcf files.  I really was looking for a way to pull
up an individual address, rather than a merge.  I could do this in Word '97.  
I guess that is progress for you . . .

OK, Windows Mail Contacts has a new COM API which may make it possible to
write some VBA to access contact data directly and use it to select a
contact and stuff the informaiton into your document.

If I had Vista, I'd investigate further...

Thanks Peter, but I'm afraid that learning "to write some VBA" would be a lot
harder for me than typing in the addresses!  Appreciate your taking the time
to respond.
