Outlook and Word Help Needed

[Samantha]

I am trying to create a Word-based fax cover sheet
template where I can pull the information directly from my
Outlook Address Book that will "fill in the blanks" on the
cover sheet. Does anyone know if this (A) can be done,
(B) how to do it?

Thanks!

A: This can be done, we do it from an Outlook-AddIn

B:
this is how we do it:
create a .dot document with an vba-project to replace textmarks in the
word-sheet an a public property for the contactitem.

from the outlook Add-In create a word object and attach the template.
set the contactitem and call teh funtion to replace the textmarks
