How to Insert MS Outlook Contact in Word – Guide

Many Microsoft Word documents contain contact information – at least a name and address. If this contact information is stored in Outlook, you can avoid some problems by using the Outlook address book in Word to enter the name and address. You may need to format the pasted information in some way, but you don’t have to search up information, write it down on a piece of paper and manually type it into the Word document. Using the address book also eliminates the possibility of typos (unless the contact information in Outlook contains a typo).

Outlook has an Address Book that you can access quickly. After all, it’s an email app. I’ve often thought that quick access to addresses should also be available in Word, as many Word documents contain contact names and their addresses. However, the address book is not available in Word, at least not as a built-in feature. You can add it though.

How to Insert Outlook Contacts into a Word Document

In the Customize Ribbon window, click on the “Fonts” tab. In the Fonts dialog box, select a new font and click OK. In the Microsoft Word Options window, click on the “Text” tab. In the Text dialog box, select a new text font and click OK.

Add the “Address Book” command to the Quick Access Toolbar.

In the “Address Book” window, select the Outlook contact you want to insert into the document.

To insert a contact into your word document, select the “Address Book” drop-down menu and select the contact you want to insert.

To enter more contacts, repeat the process of entering the contact information for each person you want to add.
