Default retrieving Outlook user info from Word macro

Hi everyone,
I am using Office ver 2003. I have created a Word template with userform
that populates some bookmarks in a letter. I have been asked to automatically
display
the user's name (first name and last name) and their position in the
userform, as listed in the Outlook global address list.

I have found code on the Word MVPs site (with thanks to Dev Ashish) to get
the userid from Windows, and have that working. Can anyone get me started or
point me in the right direction for code to get from the userid to user's
First name, Last name and position from Outlook global address list? Or is
there another (better) way? i would rate my VBA skills as good in Word,
Excel, Access, but I've not had any experience of significance in Outlook.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Helen
