I live from my Compaq iPaq Pocket PC, which has my address book, calendar, e-mail... and plenty of other life organizing traits. But for those that like the analog version of an address book, Outlook can accommodate. Using the booklet printing format, you can have a neatly formatted paper copy of your address book that can then be chopped up and stapled together in a make-shift black book. Perfect for the glove compartment of your car! The formatting works easiest on printers capable of duplexing, or double-sided printing, but with a little manipulation of the paper, you should be able to accomplish the task easily enough with a single-sided printer. To print a booklet, your Contacts view must be set to Address Cards or Detailed Address Cards. Hit File | Print, then select either the Small or Medium Booklet Print Style, then let it fly. You likely won't need your mother-in-law's email address when stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire, so feel free to customize the view, leaving only the fields you need in your address book.
