sending a formal letter in Word from a contact in outlook

[Pappaboat]

I recently bought a new laptop and have new outlook and have office 2007 and
small business 2007 with outlook 2007. On my previous Outlook and computer -
presumed to be 2003 - I could open a contact and click on "send" and it would
allow me to either send an email or send a letter - clicking on the latter
would bring up a word template and place the address of the contact right on
a word document and allow me to immediately type a letter and even placed my
signature at the end.

How do I do the same thing (write a formal letter using the contact) in the
new software packages?

Sure hope you can help....I've consumed hours trying to get help from
Dell...frustrated!

Feature was removed. Use Word's Insert Address function instead.

OK, I went to word, opened it and clicked on mailings and then the addrss
book and I wait about 30 seconds for my 6200 contacts to load and then put in
a name and wait - again 30 seconds - and, then, click next if it's not the
rithg one and hit return and nothing happens. Help!

Put the addressbook icon on the QAT, it's easier.

Clarify what you did. There is no address book in that view. You appear to
be performing an aborted mail merge.
You add the Insert Address function to the QAT and use that.
