I am using Office 2000 for Windows on a Network. I use Word and Outlook. I use my Outlook address book extensively in Word 2000 in letters and envelopes. When I input the information into Outlook, the middle initial/name is there and appears on the address cards; however, when I insert that into a Word document/envelope, it looses the middle initial/name. That is a problem when a name such as: J. Farkel Fiddlestein. I work for a county government and have had our Information Systems Department here on numerous occassions trying to reset so it shows up. They are stumped!

Does anyone have any suggestions on what setting I may need to change to bring that mi/name in?

Thanks for the help!

Interesting problem. I assume, that when you look at the name properties, the MI information is in the correct box.
Here's an article that you might want to play with. It gives instructions on how to change the address layout used by an Address book entry:

This is pretty curious. When you say that you are inserting the entire name into a WORD document, are you using mail-merge? Is there a field on the document for middle initial/name?
