Default How to access the Outlook Address book from Word for mail merg

Thanks!
I recently found this feature myself, but as I understand the instructions,
it is the Contacts that is used, and not the Global address book that I need.
To access this Global address book, I click the "book" icon in Outlook 2003,
and on the right is already chosen Global Address List in the field "Show
Names from the:"
In this my company have a list of approx. 18000 names...

Hi,
I would like to access the Outlook 2003 global Address book from Word 2003
to be able to do some mail merging. When I use the mail merge wizard, I
can
though just use Contacts from Outlook, not the global Address book.

Is there thus any way to access the global Address book for mail merging,
either from Word or from Outlook?

Copying all info from Address book to Contacts would probably not be a
good
option, we have 5000 - 15000 contacts, haven't though counted them...
