Default Word shuts down when attempting Outlook address mail merge

I have been using MS Word to merge Outlook addresses on envelopes for years.
But now, for reasons unknown, when I open my template merge document, or for
that matter when I create a new one from scratch, MS Word immediately shuts
down when I try to access the Outlook addresses (Ribbon Mailings tab: Select
recipeints: Select from Outlook contacts...). This is recent - after loading
MSO2007 SP2.

I saw one previous posting in this regard, but the correction was SP2, which
I have already done. I have also checked the Registry with respect to the
article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918792, and everything appears as
expected.

I am running MS Office 2007 Pro SP2 on Windows XP Pro.

Anyone know anything about this?

Try initiating the merge from Outlook.

See the "Mailmerge from Outlook" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website
