Default Getting contacts from Outlook for Mailmerge

Thanks gain Russ,

I transferred the contacts through the .pst copy file, as I still have my
old hard drive in the computer. When I use the mailmerge function in Word,
both 2003, I get the message that my Contacts Personal Folders is only
available, when I ask to select from Outlook contacts. It does not show any
of my subfolders where I have many of my contatcs. It worked perfectly with
my old system. I hope this helps. Thanks Ian

Then you'll need to provide a bit more information. Exactly how did you
"download" these Contacts? The transfer process is critical and easy to do
incorrectly. What Outlook version? When you say it didn't work, exactly what
did you try and happened?

Thanks Russ, but it still doesn't work. Ian

Whenever you migrate your Contacts, you'll need to configure the Outlook
Address Book Service to include them before they'll be available to Word.

I have just changed computers, and downloaded all of my contacts and
contact
sub folders into the new computer, and they show up fine in Outlook.
However,
I just tried to do a Mailmerge and retrieve contacts from my sub
folders,
and
they do not appear anywhere. Any suggestions, Thanks, Ian
