Sorry this is the MS Access (the database program) newsgroup. You do not
say what software you are using, but it does not sound like MS Access. Try
annexcafe.general.user2user newsgroup or better yet a newsgroup devoted to
the software you are using.

If you are using MS Access, how about some more information about what
you want to do.

Not using access as a program! I am trying to put an address into a word
document from the address book; I have recently changed to Ofice 2003
Professional and am now unable to insert automatically an address

Since your problem appears to be with Word, check the Word newsgroups (they
start microsoft.public.word)

This newsgroup is for questions about Access, the database product that's
part of Office Professional.

document from the address book; I have recently changed to Ofice 2003

I did flip to Word and the help file and this is what I found:

Insert an address from an electronic address book
You can insert addresses from the following online address books: a
Microsoft Outlook Address Book or Contact List, a Microsoft Schedule+ 95
Contact List, or the Personal Address Book. If you've installed Outlook, the
Schedule+ 95 Contact List is not available.

1.. On the Tools menu, point to Letters and Mailings, and then click
Envelopes and Labels.
2.. Click the Envelopes or Labels tab.
3.. Click Insert Address .
4.. In the Show Names from the box, click the address book or contact list
you want.
5.. In the Type name or select from list box, enter a name. Or click a
name in the list.

As it turns out, that is a little faster than what I had been doing.

I have also noticed that you can access the address information even
quicker through the letter wizard under the tools menu.
