I'm in the same boat as Jack30. In response to the most recent post from GM,
Outlook is my default email application, I added my address book the QAT in
Word, I went into Data FileManagement and removed the three Contact groups
I've created that appeared under Outlook Address Book. I was not able to
remove the entire Outlook Address Book as GM suggested, as the "x Remove"
button is greyed out. I then went into the three individual Contact groups
and through Properties, made sure that each had the box checked "Show this
Folder as an Email Address Boook". All three were already checked. These
three did not subsequently reappear under the Data File Management, much to
my chagrin.
After a reboot, and a careful re-reading of
http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm , I was able to
successfully create labels, but only from Outlook, selecting the Contact
group from which I wished to use and then carefully going through the
tuturial just referenced. Starting from Word continued to generate the MAPI
erro message. Thanks for your help. And Microsoft: there has to be an
easier way to do this.
I have stared the merge from both Word and Outlook. I have successfully done
this before, but only once on Vista and that was 12 months ago.

1. Is Outlook your default e-mail application for Windows? - If not make it
so!
2. If you add the address book to the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) can you
insert an address into a Word document? If having attended to 1 above, you
still cannot insert an address, open Outlook 2007 and from the file menu -
data file management - address books. Is Outlook address book listed. If
not, add it. If it is select it and click Change. Remove the Outlook Address
Book. Close the dialog then add it back again to repair the links. This will
not affect your contacts list.
3. Are you starting the merge from Word or Outlook?
4. Have you read - http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm ?

Just to clarify on my prior rant alls I am trying to do is make some
mailing labels.
Nothing tricky..no word or excel documents no pictures or letters or
other forms charts or graphs...just make labels for my contacts for
my holiday cards and for my
seasonal marketing mailers...nothing special or out of the
ordinary....

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
