 * Let Outlook Address It - Even in Word! **


 * Do you ever f ** ind yourself tired of the old copy/paste routine to get an address of a contact into a Word document?

Ever find yourself wishing that you could get Outlook to transfer that information for you?

You need to add a button for your address book to MS Word so that when you need to you can access the address book, choose a contact and just like magic, Word will insert the contact's mailing address into the document.

Start by creating a button for your address book in Word. The procedure for accomplishing this differs depending upon the version of Word you use. Anyway, if you are using an **//older version of Word//** then you need to customize your toolbars by adding the address book button.

First, **right-click on a toolbar** and choose **customize**.

On the Commands tab choose **All Commands** on the left and then **InsertAddress** on the right.



Drag and drop the **InsertAddress** command to a toolbar or next to the menu names.

For people with **//Word 2007//** you need to take a slightly different approach. You will be adding the address book button to your Quick Access toolbar here is what you do.

First, **click the down-arrow** on the right of the Quick Access toolbar.

Choose **More Commands** from the bottom.



On the left choose **All Commands** at the top then scroll through the command list to **Address Book**.

Once Address Book is selected click the **Add** button in the middle.

Click **OK**.

Now, everyone should have the button they need in their version of Word

Obviously, you are going to **click the Address Book button**.

The dialog box that opens gives you access to your Outlook Address Book and under that the Contacts. (If it opens immediately to the Outlook Address Book and you see no listings then switch to Contacts they should be there if you look.)

Anyway, **choose a contact** and click **OK**.

Instantly Word inserts the name and mailing address of the chosen contact.

**__There is one small "glitch".__**

Initially when inserting an address it always added "United States of America.

Go **into Outlook**, **open the contact** and **click the Address button** to the left of the field where the address is entered.

A small dialog box like this opens.



Simply **highlighted the country and deleted it**.

Then click **OK** to go back to the contact page for that person and exited that with a **Save & Close**.
