I am having the same problem doing a mail merge in Word XP using information
from a Contacts folder. When I select the contacts folder I wish to use, the
"Data Link Properties" box displays. I do not have the option of beginning
the mail merge in Outlook. Outlook is set as the default e-mail client and
"show this folder as an e-mail address book" has been checked on the
properties page for the folder.

What can I do? I am totally stuck.
