Board index » Outlook » Contacts address to Word

Outlook602
I now have Word 2007. With earlier versions I could go to contacts and click

to put the mailing address in a Word document. Did I lose this handy feature

when I "upgraded"? If not, how do I get the mailing address from an Outlook

contact to appear in a Word document. I can send an email, but cannot find

out how to start a Word document using an Outlook address.

Posted quite often - in Word you need to add the addressbook icon to your

QAT.

Click the drop-down arrow next to your QAT and choose "more commands"

NB - this will only work if you are also using Outlook 2007 as your Contacts

manager....

I did this

But each time I use it Word 2007 crashes

Has this bug been reported?



Using vista business sp1 and office 2007 sp1

I tried what you said and received this message from MS Word: "Upspecified

Error" Check your mail setup. You must have Extended MAPI version 1.0 or

higher to use this feature. What now? Thanks for your reply(s).

After 3+ hours on the phone last night with Word and Outlook tech support,

they concluded there is a bug with this feature on some computers. They have

no fix at this time. I would like to thank all of you for trying to help!

We've always managed to get things working once the user creates a new

profile, migrates their data to it correctly, and then configured the

Outlook Address Book correctly. The only confirmed "bug" we know of in

Outlook 2007 is that you can no longer repair the Outlook Address Book

Service by removing and re-adding it, so creating a new profile is

necessary.

State how you did that.

Russ, since the tech had control of my computer, I am not exactly sure of

everything he did. Perhaps the details are in his case notes.
