Default Word 2007 - select contacts folder - mailbox not contacts

Thanks - the start from Outlook worked.

Next question. I saved the word doc with the selected merge fields for
future use. When I opened it, it ran the SQL command from the first data
selection, not the current one. How do I use a saved word document as the
template for the outlook initiated merge?

When using the wizard to build mailing labels, I "Select from Outlook
contacts" - Choose Contacts folder

My contacts folder list appears (for those folders checked in Outlook
Address Book - Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book).

Issue:
The location is the mailbox not contacts. When I select a folder, my mail
merge receipients are not the contact in the selected fodler but eMail
items, e.g. subject, from, to, contents, et.al.

How do I get the contact data pointed to not a mailbox?
