1. Open the letter in word

2. Click toolsLetters and MailingsLetter Wizard

3. Choose the Recipient Info tab.

4. "Click here to use address book", your Outlook contacts will be
listed, choose the contact you want, click ok.

5. The name and address is added to the top of the letter.

6. Click the "File" Menu and choose the "Send To" and you will find
different options as how to email the letter.


No need for two address books and it took 5 seconds. :-)

Thanks for your suggestions but it doesn't sound like outlook can do what I
need it do. It sounds like the other software I use is more capable of doing
this for me.

Why not use Word's "Insert Address" function?

How do I get my contacts information to load from Outlook onto the letter.
It sounds like it may be a lengthy process everytime I want to send this
form
letter to one of my contacts. I need to be able to load my contacts
information onto the letter each time I need to send it to someone
different.
Currently I use ACT and all I have to do there is go to my contact and
click
"write" and pick the document I want to write. It loads my letter with my
contacts info. and creates a word document with my letterhead that I can
save
and e-mail. I want to be able to do this from Outlook, can I?

I have an existing letter in Word and need to select one of my Outlook
contacts to send this letter to. How do I do this? Does Outlook
offer this type of service? I currently use ACT and would like to
switch everything I do over to Outlook but I cannot seem to figure
out how to do this in Outlook.

In Word, click the Email button on the Standard toolbar. On Word 2003,
it's
the fifth icon from the left after New Blank Document, Open, Save, and
Permission.
