In Outlook 2003, it was possible to customize the contact form with a "new
letter to contact" command, which, when clicked would launch a Word document
and a dialogue box to create a letter. Once you clicked "Finish" on the
dialogue box, it would insert the contact's name and address at the top of a
blank Word document. It doesn't seem as though Outlook 2007 can do that. Is
this correct, or am I missing something?

In Office 2007 it's done the other way. In Word, add the Addressbook icon to
the QAT, then open a new document, click on the addressbook icon and that
will open the Outlook addressbook.
