Default How do I access Outlook contacts in Word?

Check the contacts list's properties in Outlook to ensure that it is checked
as an e-mail address book.
If this doesn't work you will have to ask in an Outlook group.

From Outlook - tools e-mail accounts view or change address
books. Delete Outlook Address Book - then re-add it. This should
reset the pointers and will not delete your contacts list.

My outlook was somehow corrupted and I "lost" my contacts. We have
subsequently found them and they can be used on a mailmerge document
but not on a normal letter. I get the following error message:

"Unable to display the contents of this address book. The Contacts
folder assoaciated with this address list could not be opened;it may
have been moved or deleted or you do not have permissions. For
information on how to remove this folder form the Outlook Address
Book, see Microsoft Outlook Help.
