I am looking for a good (and simple) way to get a contact's name (and maybe
his/her company name) and fax number into my fax cover, which is a Word
template I created. I know I can get Name, Address, City etc using the
Insert Address/AddressLayout button; it's more info than I want in a fax
cover but I could live with it--or delete whatever is superfluous. But the
fax number is pretty important; right now I have to go into OLD and
cut-and-paste the fax number into my fax cover.
Some details: I have the same templates on different machines in running
Word (and Office) 2000 (we/ Wine, soon to be scrapped); 2002 (we/ Win
Professional running in a corporate network with a MS Exchange Server; and
2003, (Win XP Pro; my new home office laptop in the standalone mode). My
fax cover is set up as a table with the person's name and fax number in
side-by-side cells. Faxes usually go to only 1 person, but if a fax is to
go to several, I simply add a row in the table for each. If it made things
easier, I could change the template to facilitate this--if I knew how. I
had tried a macro but obviously I don't know how to make anything but the
simplest of macros.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
