Print a Fax (Word) for an address of Outlook

I wonder how difficult is to get an very useful macro listing or addin for the
every day duty in small offices.
The routine (exactly as outlook have foreseen for E-mails) is:
- prepare a comunication for someone using MSWord (fax or letter);
- find out his fax number and/or address and insert it in the fax or letter;
- save in a draft folder;
- print and show it to the boss for his ok;
- open the file, make changes, save it as document not to be modified;
- print and send it.
I have a macro (working with a MS Accessdata base) in this way and I am not
able to find somewere the listing for doing the same using outlook address
book.
Some one has already done something like this?
Thank you!

I don't see how any of those steps can be automated with a macro. Almost
everything you do is a one-click action (Print, Open, Save, Send) followed by
a manual human oriented task that cannot be guessed at with code.

Inserting an address into a Word document would be a candidate for a macro,
IF there wasn't already a handy option to insert the address from a selected
Contact in Outlook.
