Word templates that will pick up fields in Outlook Contacts
Outlook 2003 had a feature in Contacts, "Actions" that would allow you to
create a Word document using the info in the Contact Field. Very rudimentary, but helpful. I've always used Goldmine (which synch'd up with Outlook nicely) to create templates in Word that would pull data from the Goldmine contact record into the appropriate places in the Word document. Now Goldmine is basically abandoning non-corporate (read high $$ sales) customers and stopping development on the "Standard" edition. No link with Word 2007. I've been searching through the Word and Outlook help files for some kind of direction on how to do at least a simple version of this, but no luck. Can anyone confirm that it *is* possible to populate a Word template with at least the name and address fields from an OL 2007 contact? I don't really need to duplicate the complexity of what was possible in GM but rudimentary linking is needed. Best regards, Stephen Porter |

Word templates that will pick up fields in Outlook Contacts
The only thing I've found is the old Insert Address function in Word. Just
add the Address Book to the Quick Access Toolbar. You can ask in a Word group if they've found anything else. I don't use Word that much. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Stephen Porter" wrote in message ...
