Default Selecting text question

Is it possible to select all the text wherever the curser may be
without actually knowing where the cursor is?

I need to write an Outlook add-in that does some processing based on
the contact field that the cursor is sitting on.

In other words the user places the curser into a contact field and
then clicks a toolbar button. I don't think the Outlook object model
gives me any idea which field has the cursor. Is there a way to trap a
click event in standard contact fields?

As a last resort I may have the user copy the text and I'll process
the clipboard, but having it a little more automated is desirable from
the user point of view.

Thanks
