If you are using a Document Template for a letter or any other document type in which a recipient address should be inserted, you can easily insert that address from your Outlook address book using the option Recipient Address.

To access the option, click on the lower part of the split button Fill in Document and then choose the option Recipient Address (Figure 1417, “Option Recipient Address).

A dialog box opens.

Additionally, you can sort the table according to one of the columns if you drag the respective column to the front of the table and drop it.

If you want to filter the contact list, click on the filter symbol next to one of the categories and select the required filters (Figure 1421, “Filter Options”).

If your empower® Administrators have defined a specific placeholder for the recipient address, the address will be inserted into this placeholder.

If they have not defined a placeholder, a dialog box opens (Figure 1422, “Dialog Box No Placeholders Found).

Here, decide if you want to insert the recipient address at your current cursor position.

If you click on the button Yes, the recipient address is inserted into your document at your current cursor position.

If you click on the button No, no address is inserted.
