How do I insert contact info from outlook into word template lette

[Yellowhouse1976]

I am trying to set up template letters for various things in the office and I
want to be able to link to contact information within Outlook so that the
info is inserted at the click of a button. Is this possible? The only other
way I can think of doing this would be to use the letter wizard within
Outlook which will do a similar task but I cant see any way of changing the
layout of the letter which has an American format of date first which I dont
want. Any help would be appreciated.

Generally speaking it's easier to start from the Outlook end of things. In
recent versions of Office you can select a contact folder (and an individual
contact in that folder) and use Outlook Tools|Mail Merge to perform a merge
to it. Once you have set up a suitable mail merge template you can re-use
it.

if that doesn't do what you need, you might be able to find some useful VBA
code at http://www.slipstick.com - also, if you search this newsgroup on
Google Groups for "jamieson outlook inspector" - the article I'm thinking of
is dated Sep 28 2003

Graham, I have had a quick look at your sight and this seems to be more of
what I was looking for. I just hope I can incorporate the macros as I have
never used them before, wish me luck. Thanks Jude
