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.

I'm still not exactly certain what you want exactly but if you want it
in a single document then use a Directory for your main document type. I think you may be trying to create a form for a single Contact, similar to a 'fill in the blanks' type of form or perhaps a Fax cover sheet?? If that's the case what I would do is create your main document and use your Contacts as the source. Then when you need to create a Fax cover sheet (or whatever it is), use the "Mail Merge Recipients" command on the Mail Merge toolbar and select the Contact you want to use, and then merge to a new document.

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,.

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 -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org pbscott wrote: Thanks for the info, it has helped and have been able to use.
