Inserting the User's Address

Word automatically maintains several items of information about you, as a user. One such item is your address, which is changed on the User Information tab of the Options dialog box. If you want to automatically insert the user address in your documents, you can follow these steps in any version of Word before Word 2007:

1. Position the insertion point where you want the user address inserted.
2. Choose Field from the Insert menu. You will see the Field dialog box.
3. In the Categories drop-down list, choose User Information. (Click here to see a related figure.)
4. In the Field Names list choose UserAddress.
5. Click on OK to close the dialog box and insert your field.

If you are using Word 2007, then the process is slightly different:

1. Position the insertion point where you want the address inserted.
2. Make sure the Insert tab of the ribbon is selected.
3. In the Text group, click Quick Parts. You'll see a drop-down menu.
4. Choose Field. Word displays the Field dialog box.
5. In the Categories drop-down list, choose User Information.
6. In the Field Names list choose UserAddress.
7. Click on OK to close the dialog box and insert your field.
