Help! Can't use outlook contact list for envelope in word
I am new to Office 2003. Previously, I had Windows ME with Office 2000 and I
was able to click on tools, envelopes, the address book icon and select an address and it would insert it on my envelope in Word. Now, I am getting the following message when I try to do this: Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run microsoft outlook and set it as the default mail client. When I close this box I get another box with this message: Logon failed. You must logon to Microsoft Exchange to access your address book. I use Outlook express as my email program where I have a contact list with just names and email addresses. My outlook contact list is more detailed and includes U.S. mailing addresses which I want to use in word. How do I fix this? |

Hi ?B?Sm9hbg==?=,
I am new to Office 2003. Previously, I had Windows ME with Office 2000 and I was able to click on tools, envelopes, the address book icon and select an address and it would insert it on my envelope in Word... You must logon to Microsoft Exchange to access your address book. I use Outlook express as my email program where I have a contact list with just names and email addresses. Word can only integrate with address books that meet certain criteria, among them, being MAPI registered. You don't need to know what this is, but the important point about this fact is that Outlook EXPRESS does not use this technology. Therefore, you can use your OE contact list with Word; you'd have to import it into the "real" Outlook.

Thank you...so if I understand correctly all the contact information that I
have in Outlook must be entered into Outlook Express? Is there an easy way to do this without having to type everything manually....I have over 200 contacts. How do I get them into Outlook Express without losing them in Outlook? Thanks for your help! "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote: Hi ?B?Sm9hbg==?=, I am new to Office 2003.

No, that's the opposite of what she meant. Word cannot use the *Outlook
Express* address book without installing (the very expensive) Microsoft Exchange software. It requires the use of a MAPI complaint e-mail application such as *Outlook*. Importing the addresses into Outlook will not affect the addresses in OE. You would save yourself some problems if you simply used Outlook as your default e-mail application as this is intended to integrate with Word in a way that OE is not. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Joan wrote: Thank you...so if I understand correctly all the contact information that I have in Outlook must be entered into Outlook Express?
