Did you have the AutoText entry selected when you went to Insert | AutoText
| AutoText? Note, too, that if you want to save the entry in Normal.dot, you
don't have to use this route; you can just press Alt+F3 and type the entry
name.

Thanks Susan,
I am a little confused regarding the instructions here because after I
typed
in a new word doc the autotext info as shown, I clicked on insert,
autotext,
BUT...the "new" was unable to be clicked on...it was there, but it was
shaded
so that I could not use it..
Any further suggestions? I also hit "enter" on my keyboard as it seemed
to
instruct.
Thanks.

Well thanks Carol. I am quite a ways from being a "power user" but, I
am
certainly curious, and need courage beyond my own strength to stare
down
lifes more serious challenges, as I consider the peril of folks JUST
LIKE
US...without homes, without family, that may have struggled to live,
but
breathed their last just days ago...or even now.
I would be interested in knowing Carol, if you could offer me one
additional
piece of advice:
I've added the address book, and when I add the contact information,
it
EXCLUDES the contacts Title and Company. If there were a way to have
this
included when I add a contact address from the address book on my word
toolbar...it would be very kewl. Thanks.
dadrocks
I offer you my email for future contact if interested, Man...life is a
wild
ride sometimes...I feel for the people in Louisiana...I really do.
Kinda obvious I suspect. Ok. Here ya go:

Thats what I needed! The ole "take it from the top".
Thanks, very handy shtuff. I could really use to learn a lot
within

worlds of outlook and word and microsoft office as a whole.
Thanks again Carol. Very helpful.

Ok, let's take it from the top here.
In word, click on Tools and Customize.
Click on the Commands Tab
On the left hand side, highlight Insert
On the right hand side, scroll down until you see the Address
book.
Place your cusror on the address book and click and drag it up
to
your
toolbar in Word and drop it there.
You can do this! I have faith in you. Let me know how you make
out.

Hi Dad:
Glad that solution worked for you! To put the Outlook
address
book on your
toolbar, do this:
Tools | Customize | on the right-hand side highlight Insert
and
on the
left-hand side scroll down until you see the address book,
then
drag it up to
your toolbar. It's as simple as that! Glad I could help
you
out.

Ok. THANKS! Now, about that "Outlook address bar", how do
I
add this to the
word toolbar? Thanks Carol
"Carol" wrote:
Check your page setup. File | Page Setup | Layout and
make
sure that it says
top. In the future, perhaps you should just put the
Outlook address book on
your toolbar in Word and select your contact that way.
I
hope this has been
helpful to you.

From a contact in outlook, I choose Actions, letter I

because I only need
the address of the contact in a word doc. BUT, the

up the whole page!
HELP? I was fiddling with formats and tools and all

I've only made things worse trying to "fix" the
