In Outlook 2003 I was able to create a Word document (a letter) directly from
a contact record I was working with at the time (as an action). How can I do
that in Outlook 2007? I don't see anything under Actions or anywhere else.

The feature never worked so it was removed. Use Word's Insert Address
function instead by adding the Address Book to the QAT.

please forgive me, but what is a QAT?

by the way, it worked fine in outlook 2003... MS really should consider
putting this feature back in 2007....it was VERY useful.

thanks!

Feature never really worked well enough to be worthwhile. It was far too
much trouble.
The rest of your questions are Word questions. QAT = Quick Access Toolbar.
You can use the "Customize" option to add features. You will find the
Address Book under the "All Commands" heading.

I hate to contradict my favorite Russ, but the feature was very useful to me in a business environment. I am sorry it is gone, even though the workarounds are pretty useful, just not as quick.

But don't you remember how many users were confounded by it? There were lots
of posts here, although most of them were because users were trying to get
it to do things it wasn't designed for. You obviously knew how to use it.
