How do I insert an Outlook address into Word when the doc is locke

[jbr76]

I am creating a transmittal form for my company that I want it to have an
option of manually adding an address or inserting one from Outlook. I have
many fields in this template to make it easy for people to fill out. When I
have the file locked, I can't add addresses. I need it locked so the
formating doesn't get messed up. I have tried

The following macrosaved in the form template and run on entry to the
address form field will prompt for the address from Outlook or if cancelled,
allow the user to manually complete the address. I have included all the
fields to insert name, company and address. You can include only what is
required. The macro assumes the address field is Text1 and that your home
country is the USA. Change the two instances of Text1 to the name of the
address field if different. If you have a different Home Country, you would
need to change the lines
If InStr(strCountry, "United States") Then
strAddress = Left(strAddress, Len(strAddress) - 18)
to reflect the name of the Country as it appears in Outlook and the length
of the name in place of 18.
