Lotus Word Pro tip

Hi all,

For those of you still using (or looking to use) Lotus Word Pro full time, I stumbled across some new information today.

Inside Word Pro, there's a menu item, under "Text > Insert Other > Address..." that allows you to insert saved addresses into your documents. Normally, to add an address to the internal address book, you need to first create an envelope, put an address into the envelope, then push the button "Send to Address..." which brings up a dialog box where you can add the address permanently to Word Pro.

OR

You can go to the registry to:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Lotus\WordPro\99.0\lwptools.ini\Address List

There you would add keys. The keys are formatted as {text|text|text|text}.

FYI.
