Thank you,

In this case, you actually don't. This AutoText entry, by some
behind-the-scenes magic, just governs what fields are imported from the
Outlook Address Book when you use Insert | Address.

Graham,
Thank you! But, how do I use AutoText when addressing an envelope?
(Please
excuse my ignorance about Word. I switched to Word just a few weeks ago
after using WordPerfect for close to 20 years.)

There are some sample envelope templates for download on my web site,
which
link to Outlook, that you may find useful. However the address in the
envelope/label wizard is re-arranged using an autotext entry. Copy and
save
the following as an Autotext entry called AddressLayout :

{PR_GIVEN_NAME PR_SURNAME
}{PR_COMPANY_NAME
}{PR_POSTAL_ADDRESS}



Note that the curly brackets are not fields but simply typed from the
keyboard.

I address envelopes using Word (XP) and contact lists in Outlook
(XP). When addressing single envelopes, I often find the addressee's
name has come into the Word address box with the "last name first"
although it is entered correctly in the contact list. I would
appreciate advice on how to set up Word (or Outlook contacts) so I
routinely get the "first name first" and "last name last" in the Word
address box.
