Copying Contact Fields

[Steve D]

I want to copy certain contact info. and paste it into an email message or a
word document. I created a new table with the fields I want. I need a way to
copy all the fields in this table (for a single contact), then paste those
fields as text into another document. In a new Outlook email message, the
"Paste Special" is dimmed and can't be used.

Is there a way to do this simple copy/paste of selected fields?

I do not want to attach a vCard for a couple of reasons. First, my Notes
field contains a lot of private information I don't want the email recipient
to get. Second, vCards seem quite buggy and frequently fail to work.

It sounds like you need to do an email merge. You can do this using any
fields in the Contacts folder.

Select the Contact(s) whose data you want in the email. The Tools |
Mailmerge and at the bottom of the pop up screen select Merge to email.
Write the Message Subject line and click OK. Word will fire up. Use the
Insert Merge Fields button (NOT Insert Word Fields) to place the fields into
the text of your email. Then click the merge to email button. Click OK on
the popup screen.

Are you sure that when you send a Vcard the Notes stuff goes with it? I
think it doesn't.
