When you create a letter in Word and then activate the Labels/Envelope dialog box, Word typically finds the address in your letter document.
Is there any way to ‘find’ this address within VBA?

Thanks Kevin. The .ExtractAddress command allows me to get the address in the dialog box, but ultimately, I would like to get the address in a string variable without displaying the built-in dialog box. In addition, even if I display the built-in dialog box, I seem to only capture the first line of the address (from the .AddrText property of the dialog box).
Any further ideas? Thanks!
