Office 2003 Envelopes and labels company name and title missing.

[Robert Guildig]

When selecting a contact in envelopes and labels the company name and job
title is not coming through. I have followed the instructions at:
http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/insword.htm and here:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=212345

here is the address layout I am using
{<PR_GIVEN_NAME>} {<PR_SURNAME>}
{<PR_TITLE>}
{<PR_COMPANY_NAME>}
{<PR_STREET_ADDRESS>}
{<PR_LOCALITY>}, {<PR_STATE_OR_PROVINCE>} {<PR_POSTAL_CODE>}

While personally I would use the following construction, which uses the
curly brackets to remove blank lines for missing data (otherwise the curly
brackets are not required), your version worked fine here when pasted into
Word. Did you save as autotext called AddressLayout (all one word)?

{<PR_GIVEN_NAME> <PR_SURNAME>

}{<PR_TITLE>

}{<PR_COMPANY_NAME>

}{<PR_STREET_ADDRESS>}

{<PR_LOCALITY>, <PR_STATE_OR_PROVINCE> <PR_POSTAL_CODE>}



The relevant fields do of course have to be completed in Outlook?

Damned newsreader put extra lines in - it should have read:

{<PR_GIVEN_NAME> <PR_SURNAME>
}{<PR_TITLE>
}{<PR_COMPANY_NAME>
}{<PR_STREET_ADDRESS>}
{<PR_LOCALITY>, <PR_STATE_OR_PROVINCE> <PR_POSTAL_CODE>}

Yes I did save it as AddressLayout in the proper place. Also it was exactly
like yours I just didn't have the original file with me and pulled the
example from the instructions. If I follow the instructions (linked to in my
previous post) on a machine running office 2000 it works perfectly. So far I
get the same results on every computer I have tried it on that is running
office 2003. Yes all the field are populated I even created a new contact and
populated the fields myself.

Hmmmm. Very odd. It works fine here with Word 2003 and both your original
and the revised versions. May I suggest that you put the same question to
the Outlook group where someone may be able to offer some insight into where
the problem lies.
