Word Address Book
I'm using Word 2000 Professional, and am trying to find a way to manually
enter addresses to the envelope function. I keep getting a message that says I have to open Microsoft Exchange (whatever that is) and have Outlook as my default mail client. I used to have an address book that was imported from a Palm PDA, but my old computer crashed and the new one (with the 64 bit Vista OS) isn't compatible with the PDA, so I need to manually re-create my address book. I posted this question (sort of, in a vague way) as a question about Word 2000 Pro, but thought I'd better take a more general approach as there was no response before. Thanks. -- Jon Miller |

Word Address Book
The insert address function is intended to work with the address book of a
MAPI compliant e-mail application. In 99.9% of cases this means Outlook (and with Vista it may only mean Outlook). Microsoft Exchange is an expensive corporate messaging system that allows the use of non compliant address books. I seem to recall that some earlier operating systems (Windows 98?) incorporated a subset of Exchange to allow the use of alternative address books. Whether you can still use your existing addresses without importing them into Outlook contacts I don't know, but it seems unlikely. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jon Miller wrote: I'm using Word 2000 Professional, and am trying to find a way to manually enter addresses to the envelope function.
