Yes of course.If you look at the longer example to automate letters, then
you will see that the required fields are each extracted separately eg

strCompany = "{PR_COMPANY_NAME}"
strAddress = "PR_POSTAL_ADDRESS"
strSubject = ""
strFax = "PR_BUSINESS_FAX_NUMBER"
'Let the user choose the contact from Outlook
'And assign the required components to variables

strAddress = Application.GetAddress("", strAddress, _
False, 1, , , True, True)
If strAddress = "" Then
MsgBox "User cancelled or no address listed", , "Cancel"
Exit Sub
End If
strCompany = Application.GetAddress("", strCompany, _
False, 2, , , True, True)
strFax = Application.GetAddress("", strFax, _
False, 2, , , True, True)

You can extract as many or as few of the available fields as you want. You
can then write those variables at the cursor and you can place the cursor eg
by inserting bookmarks in the document and seeking the bookmark before
writing the content of the variable.

eg

Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="CompanyName"
Selection.TypeText strCompany
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="FaxNo"
Selection.TypeText strFax

Thanks for the info, it has helped and have been able to use.

Is it possible though to put the fax number somewhere else within the
document, away from the Company name etc,.

No I only want details in a single document, want the verious parts

It sounds like what you want is Mail Merge. You would use merge
fields instead of bookmarks in your Word document.

You can start your merge from Outlook by opening your Contacts view
and going to Tools/Mail Merge. Here's an article that will provide
you with some additional steps and information:
