Default outlook 2007 mail merge

I don't use Vista so am fishing a bit here - If you look at my page
http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm you will see a
reference to SCHDMAPI.DLL and a download link for this file. It's a long
shot, but I wonder if adding that file will fix the problem? If not you can
always remove it again.

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 ?
5. Have you read

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....

when I try to use mail merge from outlook 2007 to word 2007 I get
this error message "MAPI FOLDER OR ADDRESS BOOK NOT FOUND"
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
