Contacts and printing labels
When I print a label from word, I retrieve the information from my contacts
list okay, however after each contacts name there are a set of brackets and in them it either states an email address or (Bus Fax) which I have to delete each time. Can you alter this as I have looked all over and cannot seem to find a solution. If anyone can help would be very very grateful. Cheers -- If you dont ask, I wont lie to you! |
Contacts and printing labels
It is not clear where are you seeing these electronic addresses nor how you
are printing these labels. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "jahque06" wrote in message ...

Contacts and printing labels
I think this may help to make the question a little clearer:
1) I have my contacts listed under 'My Contacts' in the actual 'Contacts' section of Microsoft Outlook 2003 which is connected to a Microsoft Exchange Server. 2) For each contact I have their name, companies name and address, telephone, fax and mobile telephone numbers and an email address. These are all saved down and sorted by Company Name. 3) I print individual address labels when required from Microsoft Word 2003 by going in tools: Envelopes and Labels. 4) I click on the address book button, choose 'My Contacts' from the drop down list when asked where to retrieve the information from, then type the name into the search bar to find the contact. 5) Once I find the required contact, I double click on that individuals name to retrieve the name and address in the information box. 6) It is at this point that you notice that the words (Bus Fax) or an email address appear straight after the persons name ie: Joe Bloggs(BusFax) or Joe Bloggs (j.bloggs@..................) 7) Before I can print the label I have to delete these words or email address from the dialouge box. I hope that this has made it a little less murky, whilst I use a computer and can find my way around at times I need idiot proof instructions to cope with some things. Any help is appreciated as I have hundreds of contacts in my contacts and would not like to input all the info again. Regards Jahque06 -- If you dont ask, I wont lie to you!
