how do you quicly & easily create a new letter to an outlook contact in
office 2007?

Mercifully, the "New Letter to Contact" Wizard no longer exists. It never
worked. It was best to shoot it cleanly through the head. Done deal.
Clarify what function you need that you feel is now missing.

Sorry Russ, it worked just fine for me... d&r now...

Outlook 2007 has no New Letter to Contact Wizard. What did you use?

I meant in Office 2003. It is indeed missing from OL 2007 but thankfully we don't use that where I work.

Hi Russ. This was functionality that I found really useful in 2003 and I
must say that the Wizard always worked from me. Are you aware of any
convenient shortcut methods for replicating what the Wizard did that might
exist in 2007

The closest you can come is simply to use Word's Insert Address function.
Good luck finding it, though. They really buried it this time. You will need
to add it to Word's QAT, and you'll only find it in the "All Commands"
section.

Do you ever get the feeling Microsoft no longer believes in the integration
of the applications in the Office Suite? There seems to be less and less
with each new version.

I was quite accustomed to using the New Letter to Contact in 2003 version,
however now I am at a loss to quickly develope a letter without typing all
information (Address, Date, Closing, ect...). 2007 Word does not seem to be
user friedndly and I truely miss the ability to create letters on the fly.
Any help would be gratly appreciated.

I looked for "Insert Address " function as you suggested in the "All
Commands" prompt, I didn't see it. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place
though I don't think so, could it be names something else. Another thing I
noticed, I had to add the "Save As" function inorder to save a document under
a different name. I am not overly thrilled with the changes in 2007, it
would seem to me MS is trying to force the move to a paperless business
world, but my customers are not as willing to convert to the digital domain.

OK, that cuts down on some key strokes, I still have to add Job title,
company name and closing information. I have to say I liked the way 2003
worked over this piece of trash.

I understand. Integration between Outlook and Word has become more a joke
than a reality. Have you asked in a Word group whether you can customize how
the Insert Address function is controlled? We never get any useful
information on how that is done. Word users usually get it before we do.

Could you share with me how you were able to get New Letter to a Contact to
work in MS Office Outlook 2003. I have been trying for some time and all I
get with my templates is the address and name. The body of my template is
never included. I have created the template. Entered the data fields I
wanted merged in and save with LTR or Letter in the name. I see my template
in the list, but when I select it, I just get the contact's name & address.
