Reuse of contact information possible with a new person's name?

O

Octavio

If I have a contact with his company information, website, etc, and then
there is another person who works in the same company and who will have most
of the same company information, and I will like to add this second person
in a new contact, how do I open the first persons contact folder, edit it
with the new person's name and phone number, and then save the rest of it in
a "new" contact entry (I don't see the "Save As" command, is there one
somewhere or any other way to do this?)
Thanks in advance.

Why not use the new contact at same company command? In Outlook 2007, its
on the Save and New dropdown. In older versions look on the Actions menu.

Thanks for your answer, Diane.

Next question (it is OK here or should I use the Word Newsgroup for this
next question?):

If I am writing a letter in Word, and I want to use someone in my Contacts
list, how
do I refer or XRef the person and company in my contact list so it will
appear in the heading of my letter?


Same question above, but with the name and address appearing in the
envelope?

In 2003 and older, it was easy - select the contact, choose Actions, new
letter to contact. Outlook 2007 removed that option. See
http://www.slipstick.com/Tutorials/letters/fromcontacts.htm for a fairly
easy method.

What about it I already wrote the letter and all I want to do is add the
heading with the name of the recipient and his address that already is in my
Contacts list?

Click Add to document. you can also use the Address book selector in the
envelope wizard.
