Here's something that Word does better, or more to your liking, than
Entourage. If you display the Contact toolbar in Word
(View/Toolbars/Contact) and enter a contact's name there (or even just start
typing a contact's name in a document and click return when its name appears
in a tooltip), then click Include Address in the Contact Toolbar, the
business address _does_ include the company. (Entourage X only.) Entourage
should learn from Word here. Anyway, if you're in Word, it only takes about
2 clicks without even having call up the Address Book although you can do
that there too.
