Names inserted from address book into an envelope are last name fi
When I insert an address from my address book into an envelope I create in
Word, the last name is first and I have to move it- how can I change it so that the first name is first? I'm using Word 2003. |

Copy the following exactly and save as an autotext entry called
AddressLayout (all one word) {PR_GIVEN_NAME PR_SURNAME }{PR_COMPANY_NAME }{PR_POSTAL_ADDRESS} (note the curly brackets are not field boundaries, but are typed from the keyboard) -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org lamersn wrote: When I insert an address from my address book into an envelope I create in Word, the last name is first and I have to move it- how can I change it so that the first name is first?

I use this for AddressLayout in Word 2000:
{PR_DISPLAY_NAME} {{PR_TITLE} }{{PR_COMPANY_NAME} }{PR_POSTAL_ADDRESS} This will return the addressee's name, with a middle initial if used, a title if there is one, a company name if there is one, and the complete address. The double braces are for conditional fields; if empty, they are skipped without leaving a blank line. If you get LastName, FirstName check to see how names are displayed in Outlook. In my experience, if they are showing up in the Contacts view as First Name, MI and Lastname, they will show up like that in AddressLayout.

The extra leading and trailing brackets {{ }} shouldn't be necessary. One
pair { }, provided the closing bracket is on the following line, should eliminate spaces. As there will always be a display name and as the postal address is at the end, these fields do not really need the curly brackets, so the following is appropriate: PR_DISPLAY_NAME {PR_TITLE }{PR_COMPANY_NAME }PR_POSTAL_ADDRESS The only snag I can see with using display name here, is if you use the company name as the display name in Outlook, which would produce the company name twice using this version. The display name field is configurable in Outlook.
