Envelopes & Labels question
I am running Vista 32bit Home Premium and I am running Word 2000 (I know,
it's old but it works) and Outlook 2000 (just for the address book). I use Windows Mail for all my email needs. My problem is when I press the little address book icon in the Tools-Envelopes & Labels area, no addresses show up. I currently have about 100 names, addresses and telephone numbers in Outlook. I assume that it has to do with Vista and looking in the wrong place. Under XP this worked just fine. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance... Dick |

Envelopes & Labels question
Were you using Outlook under XP? I'd guess that Word is trying to find the
address book in the email client - which you have set as Win Mail, so it cannot find it. Try changing the default mail client setting under Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet Options, Programs Tab to see if that lets Word find the address book. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Dick" wrote in message ...

This is one of the astonishing things I find with Microsoft Office - Word will ONLY use the Contact details from Outlook. I don't think you can even set an Excel file or Access database as the address source. Seems VERY short-sighted to me, particularly when Open Office will use ANY source you set - Outlook, Thunderbird, Excel, Access, etc etc etc. |

This is frustrating to me as well, since I don't use Outlook. But I'm not
sure I'd use it as an address book even if I did. What Word will do is use the OE address book for emails. -- Suzanne S.

My problem is that I just happen to use Outlook 2000 for an address book.
I'm actually using WinMail for the mail client. I know Word is looking someplace else, but I can't figure out where. If I knew where Word was looking, I'd make sure that I had a copy of the address book located there. Dick "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
