To link the Journal entry for a Word or Excel document to a particular contact

Outlook tracks Office documents automatically (if you set up the Journal options that way), but does not associate documents with particular contacts. 

Try creating a journal entry for the contact first, by dragging the contact to the Journal folder or icon. Then use the Insert | File command to insert a shortcut to the document. 

In Outlook 2000, on any contact, you can choose Actions | Link | File to create a new Journal item with a shortcut to the file. These linked items will appear on the Activities tab on the contact item.
