Sharing address book in Outlook 365

Hi,

situation:

Secretary has Access (read/write/change) to boss' Mailbox, including contacts. She sees contacts in her Outlook Client and can Change, add delete them.

Sometimes she has to write letters to the boss' contacts with word. In Word there is the function to insert addresses right out of the address book into documents or envelops (in the Mailing section).

But when using this feature the secretary only sees her own and the global address book, not the address book of her boss.

I already tried to set the boss' address book as e-mail address book in properties, but there is no such option for this item.

I also recognized that the Email Button that is visible in the ribbon when I see the personal contacts disappears when clicking on the boss' address book.

Does anyone have an idea to import occasionaly single addresses from a shared address book into word documents easily?

Thanks

Regards

Mithrandir

Hi Samuel,

thanks for your hint. I addressed my question within the Exchange Group.But I also want to encourage other users to share their experience her, because I think most of the regular users are seeing the issue as a usability of the client thing. So I believer first place to search for this point will be in this Group.
