Creating an Address book link in a Word File

[janicethorne via OfficeKB.com]

I have a user in our company who wants to have a lookup function in a Word
file for his Outlook AddressBook contacts. So for instance, if he is typing a
letter he can click a button that will bring up the address book, select a
name from it and it will insert the name and address without him having to
import the whole thing.

Ok, I know that this is not easily possible, but has anyone ever heard of
this being done? Or is there a third party tool that you can recommend for
this task? Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks!

JT

That's what the address book in Word does by default.
Just use it.
