Default Merge Word 2003 w/ Outlook as DB

First, I only generate one letter or form at a time, not mass mailings.

To date, I have been using Mail Merge in Word 2003 to insert the name,
address, etc. from Outlook contacts into form documents created from
templates, e.g. letters of transmittal, memos, etc.

At present, I have a tool bar with macros that bring up new docs from my
most commonly used forms templates. I click on a button that creates a new
document from a template go to the Tools dd menu Lettters and Mailings
Mail Merge select Use Current Document Select Recipients Select from
Outlook contacts choose Contacts folder Deselect all find the recipient
click on View Merged Data on the MM tool bar lock the form and fill in

the items that go into the body.

There's got to be an easier way. Is it possible to automate this down to
"find the recipient"? I would like to be simply be able to click on the
button for that document, select one recipient, click on View Merged, lock
the form, put in the relevant info and be done.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

John
