Abstract
The automated insertion of formatted address information includes the generation of one or more electronic documents based on a document template having specific guidelines for the format of the address information. From this template, address information is inserted therein. Prior to insertion, an address format command is received which indicates which type of formatting is to be utilized. If a mailing format is utilized, the insertion of the address fields is performed relative to postal jurisdiction protocols. Otherwise, if a style format is used, the address fields are inserted based on the defined style, which may be associated with the template or specific through a user selection or automated selection. Furthermore, the user may define the applicable style for the address information in the electronic documents. Thereupon, these documents may be readily transmitted to the intended recipient with the user-selected address formatting.
