Letter to Contact

You first. What do you mean by a "shared Contact list?" Any Contact Folder
that you enable as an address book in Outlook will appear in Word.

For a shared Contact list, it does not work... you cannot see a shared

So I am also equally interested in how you make this happen.
Please provide info.

Any suggestions to get an envelope printed from a contact then? Before
you
answer "MAIL MERGE" please read on...
Mail Merge in Word works great for your contacts, but not for a
delegated
contacts folder.

What I have is an admin. assistant that used this feature a lot, and
now
she
has Outlook 2007 and cannot perform the same function.
I said "no problem, use mail merge in Word" BUT.... she is trying to
use
an
address from the executives contact list she is an admin assist to.
He has provided her permissions to view and edit his contact list, but
in
a
Word mail merge, you cannot access a shared contact list.

So how do I provide her an answer to "How do I print envelopes from his
contact list?" question???





:

In the help file for Outlook it says go to Actions and select New
Letter
to
Contact. This was a great option in Outlook 97 to 2003. I can't
understand
how removing it enhanses the program in any way. In the past I used
the
option about 20 times a day. I'm really surprisee that it's been
dropped...can it be added as an add on?

Ok Russ,

The admin assistant opens Outlook 2007
She clicks on Contacts
She clicks
In the left hand navigation pane there is a link that is titled "Open Shared
Contacts"
She click this and then locates the executives name from the global address
list.
She now sees her contacts listed under the section title "My Contacts"
She sees the executives contacts under the section titled "People's Contacts"

It is that list which is not available in a mail merge in Word.
It is also that same list the admin assistant would click on a contact,
click actions, and then click "Letter to Contact" to begin a letter to the
contact.

Now, please enlighten me as to how adding the address book to the QAT does
this?

You provided no additional information. Are you using Exchange Server? What
type of Contact list is this and where is it stored? Your question is most

Sorry Russ, I thought the use of disscussion forums was to find answers to
questions... Apparently I was wrong.

Yes the Outlook 2007 client is using an exchange server.
The Outlook 2007 client addressbook is "Outlook Address Book" Type=MAPI

Wouldn't have just been easier to say its not possible rather than sit there
and type up replies that are not helpful nor useful.

Thanks

No. It would be easier if you provided enough information for someone to
provide an answer. I give up. The term "Contact List" has no meaning to us.
If it resides in the Active Directory, whether it will appears in the
address book view may depend on the properties it has been given by the
Exchange Administrator.

would be found.
Maybe I can draw a picture.
Jezz, I think I have provided a lot of information, step by stp instructions

So sorry to have wasted my time trying to find an answer to a question.

It is your job to provide the necessary information. I told you "Contact
List" means nothing to us because it could be anything. Define what you mean
by it. Is it a GAL in the AD? Is it a Contacts Folder in a public folder? Is
it a Contacts Folder in the user's mailbox? Is it a Contacts Folder in
someone else's mailbox? Something else?
All but the last will appear in the Address Book.

If it isnt appearing in the Address Book, it is obvious he must of been
talking about a Contacts folder in someone else's mailbox... so you have
answered the question yourself...

There is a way of getting these into the address book which Sue Mosher has
documented in an Answer called "Subject: Re: Shared outlook contacts" and
this may be the solution to the problem... it certainly helped me..

She sees the executives contacts under the section titled "People's
Contacts"

It is that list which is not available in a mail merge in Word.
It is also that same list the admin assistant would click on a
contact,
click actions, and then click "Letter to Contact" to begin a letter
to
the
contact.

Now, please enlighten me as to how adding the address book to the
QAT
does
this?

:

You first. What do you mean by a "shared Contact list?" Any Contact
Folder
that you enable as an address book in Outlook will appear in Word.

Adding the address book to the QAT in Word is great... for your
own
Contacts
list.
For a shared Contact list, it does not work... you cannot see a
shared
contact list in the addressbook in Word...

So I am also equally interested in how you make this happen.
Please provide info.

Posted here many times: Add the Address Book to Word's QAT and
use
it
to
insert addresses in Word documents.

The "Letter to Contact" in the "Actions" menu in Outlook
Contacts
feature
seems to have been removed in Outlook 2007. (nice going)

Any suggestions to get an envelope printed from a contact
then?
Before
you
answer "MAIL MERGE" please read on...
Mail Merge in Word works great for your contacts, but not for
a
delegated
contacts folder.

What I have is an admin. assistant that used this feature a
lot,
and
now
she
has Outlook 2007 and cannot perform the same function.
I said "no problem, use mail merge in Word" BUT.... she is
trying
to
use
an
address from the executives contact list she is an admin
assist
to.
He has provided her permissions to view and edit his contact
list,
but
in
a
Word mail merge, you cannot access a shared contact list.

So how do I provide her an answer to "How do I print envelopes
from
his
contact list?" question???





:

In the help file for Outlook it says go to Actions and select
New
Letter
to
Contact. This was a great option in Outlook 97 to 2003. I
can't
understand
how removing it enhanses the program in any way. In the past
I
used
the
option about 20 times a day. I'm really surprisee that it's
been
dropped...can it be added as an add on?
