I have perhaps a hundred Outlook contacts with an address (Home, Office etc) which is marked as the mailing address. In Word I have a template I use for a letter.
When I want to write a letter to someone I locate the contact in Outlook, highlight the mailing address and Copy it. Then I switch back to my Word document and Paste it in.
Is there a better way?
Note: I have tried the following: opening the contact and choosing New|Office Document|Word document. Outlook just hangs on me (Not Responding) and I have to close it manually.
Some qualifications: I use Windows XP; I never need to send the same letter to multiple correspondents; I usually highlight the address in the Word document after printing it so that I can print an envelope. I often don’t save the letter after printing. I often need three things from Outlook: I need the name, the company and the mailing address. I could live with always getting these three items even if one or two of them aren’t needed in any one letter.
