I have a form in Word that is used to collect data similar to that found in
Outlook Contact list. Notes: I cannot use InfoPath and yes there are a few
Custom Fields in the Outlook Contact list.

How can I push the form field values out to Outlook creating new contacts in
Outlook using VBA? I often find reference to Outlook to Word, and Outlook
to Excel, but I can't find anything on Word to Outlook code.

If you have the Word code to retrieve the information from the document to
push to Outlook, you're half-way there. The Outlook Object Model can be used
by any Visual Basic aware application. Here's a good example:
