Then you are (currently) best off using an AppleScript. I have one called "Info to Clipboard" that offers a selection of available fields from a contact; you select the ones you want. The script does not list <all> contact fields, just the ones I deem most likely. I didn't include department, but I just added it. However, I'm having trouble uploading the revised version to my scripts site (below). You can find the existing script there under Contacts->Lookup/Use. I'll upload the revised script as soon as I can get access. -- Microsoft MVP for Entourage/OE/Word (MVPs are volunteers) Allen Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Entourage FAQ site: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> AppleScripts for Outlook Express and Entourage: <http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Scripts/> Entourage Help Pages: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/>
