Default How to insert a address from oulook address book into a word f

It appears that for some reason normal.dotm is not being saved when you exit
from Word. Set the option in Word Options to prompt to save the normal
template then when you make a change that affects that template it should
prompt you to save it. If it doesn't, something is interfering with that
process. The usual villains are poorly written add-ins. Particularly bad was
the early version of Acrobat 7, but as this is incompatible with Word 2007,
its add-in should not be present? - see

Sorry about that. I have since read it and have updated the
AddressLayout to include the fields I need. However, as soon as I
close out of Word and go back in, the AddressLayout reverts to the
default. I have saved it in AutoText, and as Normal.dotm. I have
even repeated this 3 times now - with it working once I re-save the
AddressLayout. Any ideas why it isn't staying or becoming my default?

This information is very helpful to me too. However, can it be
edited to also include the company name and contact's title
information? Thanks for any help on this.

Add the command Address Book from Commands Not in the Ribbon to the
QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) or use a macro to insert an address with
even more control of the layout -

With Office 2003 I was able to put a small icon at the toolbar
which gave me the option to choose a address from outlook and
place it direct into a word file. Where is this function with
office 2007!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
