Default Use Outlook contact info (i.e., fax #) in a Word template?

What good is a contact list if you can't use it everywhere?

But you can use it everywhere. You just have to start from Word, and
do the necessary code in Word's VBA and save it to a custom template
for Word. Since it is a cover sheet you really want, that really
should be created in word, and if you want to add contact information,
then you can start a mail-merge to fax from Word. The coding to get
the Outlook field data is basically the same, but putting into a field
is a bit more difficult. Still, a resourceful programmer can manage.
You can find many examples of this at

a specific example I wrote is:

That code was written for an earlier version of Word, so you will have
to update it to the current object model of Word and Outlook.
