Outlook/Word - Insert Contact address in letter

[jfrondorf]

When typing a letter in work, I can go to my address book, locate a contact,
and drop the name and address into the letter...but, the Company Name does
not come across (I have to type it in separately)...is there a way to get
this automatically?

Not AFAIK - if you add the company name to the address box as well as the
Company Name field, then it will.

To learn about ways to control how an Address is inserted into Word from
Outlook, take a look here:
Word 2000/2002:

More recent versions of Office (XP and 2003) are more dysfunctional when it
comes to inserting addresses. Modifying AddressLayout in Word 2002 will
apply only to addresses inserted into a document, but not to Envelopes or
Labels. The KB offers the following kludgy workaround:
