Although written for Office 2003 - the principles shown at
http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm for incorporating Outlook data in
documents should still apply.

I do see where you can pick another document. The trouble is that my
fax template doesn't contain outlook contact merge fields and I don't
know how to add them to the template (or do I have to do this each
time I use the template).
Maybe, I should back up a bit . . . I am a new user to Outlook w/
Business Contact Manager. I am evaluating it for our small company.
We've been using ACT database software for 10 years and if you want
to write a letter, fax, or email all you do is choose your customer
and click write letter, write fax, etc (or choose a template) and it
then opens Word with all the prefilled contact information. Is this
something that can be done through Outlook w/ BCM? or is there an
add-on product to do this with Outlook?
I greatly appreciate any assistance.

Hi ?B?Y21nbGFzZXI=?=,
Thank you for the help. I was able to do the mail merge starting
from Outlook, which was a big help however, what if I want to use a
given template? For instance, have the contact info. merge directly
into a fax template. Can I do that?
Read through that dialog box for Mail Merge in Outlook very
carefully. The second section lets you choose an existing document
as the starting point.
