Word Fax to 1 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!

Various ways, one of which>

I would use an Outlook template for this.
http://www.outlookcode.com/

This Outlook form can host the business logic you require.
You can read out the .OFT file (the Outlook form) and react/respond
accordingly and save the data
to an MS Access database.

Publishing the OFT file in an enterprise setting will prove to be your next
challenge...

OFT is the file extension of Outlook forms
If you create your own (user designed) Outlook form, it will be saved as an
OFT file.
Check out the website of the Outlook expert I sent you previously.
If you have problems creating such a form, turn to the Outlook programming
newsgroups for assistence.
