Office 2007 address book

[Guest]

I recently upgraded to Office Pro 2007 from Office Pro 2000. In the
previous version, I could print a letter from a template in Word >choose to
print an envelope>insert the receipent's address from the address book, &/or
add a new contact from the address book popup if the contact was not there.

It seems in version 2007, I do not have the option to add a new contact from
envelope/address book. I can search and advance search, but must back out
and go to Outlook to add the new contact. I have tried adding the Address
Book to the QAT of Word but that shortcut also brings me the screen without
the "add new" option.

This is such a pain and waste of time. Am I missing an option that would
allow me to add the ability to add a new contact from a word document?

I have to say I regret the upgrade to 2007 many of the tools I depended on
are not available.

When you click on Envelopes, do you not get a little Addressbook icon just
above the space to type in the delivery address? Does your addressbook work
in Outlook when composing new mail?

Yes the Icon is there, that is how I insert the mailing address to the
envelope. However, the problem is the Add New Contact is no longer available
from the Address Book that I get from the Icon. The same address book in
Outlook allows the "new" option.

Yes, my outlook address book works when creating emails.

Ah sorry, misunderstood the first post.
it seems that if you click on the addressbook icon, and anywhere in the
Addressbook window do a right-click, you get three options:
Properties
Delete
and New Entry.
