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. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
