Default mail merge address book

Is there a address book other than "Outlook, outlook express" I can use
with word. Do not want to buy an application just to use word's mail
merge or print envelope.

Thanks in advance.

Default mail merge address book

What version of Word and WIndows are you using and what email program?
You can create an address merge list in a Word table, in an Excel spreadsheet, from a database...

Mail merge can use a variety of data formats of which a Word table is
probably the simplest option, but the insert address function requires
Outlook.

I don't fully understand. Can I create a database with Name, address1,
city, state, zip. and use that or do I setup addresses and one block and
use that or what?

http://www.gmayor.com/convert_labels...mail_merge.htm will show you what
a data file for mail merge looks like in Word
Word can work with many database formats, but only for mail merge. The
Insert address function requires Outlook.
