Addressing in WORD Envelopes
I've been using Envelops and Labels in WORD (2000) for some time. I used the
pulldown in Envelopes to select the address from my Outlook Contacts. Recently one of my contacts moved. I updated their address in Contacts but cannot seem to find a way for the new addess to be available in WORD Envelopes. I tried deleteing the person from the pulldown but it won't go away. I tried blanking out the address after inserting from the pulldown, then pasting in the new address. That works for that time only but the pulldown still has the old address next time. Any suggestions? Could it be some problem with the Address Book versus Contacts? I have been using Contacts for years since it first became available. |

Addressing in WORD Envelopes
Are you accessing this recipient from the MRU pulldown or the address book
itself? The latter will contain your updated information as long as the Contact resides in the same Contact Folder you are displaying in Word's Address Book. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Peter" wrote in message ...

Addressing in WORD Envelopes
Not sure what a MRU is. In WORD I've used the Envelopes feature. Under the
labels the only options I have are the pulldown or to type in the address. My problem is with the pulldown. Seems to me there should be someway to update that pulldown list with the current information in my contacts.

MRU is "most recently used."
Don't use it. Use the Address Book icon instead so that you can access your updated Contacts. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Peter" wrote in message ... Not sure what a MRU is.
