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.
