Default Letter to Contact

What happend to the the "Letter to Contact" Action that was in 2003. I used
it all the time to start/address a letter in Word. It appears that this was
left out of 2007. Are there any work around for this? Or does this this
action appear in a differant form

You do it from Word, not from Outlook. Add the Addressbook icon to your
QAT....

Russ - As far as I can tell the "insert address function" applies to email
messages. I am unable to find where it works for Word.

Got it. I was still looking in Outlook. However the Address Book icon
function from word only seem to access the main contacts. The sub-contact
menues do not seem to be availabel. Is this correct?

No. It will access any Contacts Folder that you have enabled as an
electronic address book (look in the Properties of each folder and select
that option in the Outlook Address Book tab).
