Default word 2000 can't open address book for mail merge envelopes

The Outlook Express address book is not compatible with this function. It
requires Outlook. You would have to export the addresses from the address
book to a file and use that file as a data source.

My addresses are in my word address book and in outlook express, but
no matter what I try to get my resources from word says it can't open
it. Can't seem to figure out why, I have 134 name to merge, there has
to be an easier way than typing all again. Thanks

When I try to do a mail merge for envelopes again my other one got
lost somehow, anyways word always says it can't open source or
address book, I have over 100 names. Do I have to type them all
again? All info is greatly apprecaited, I have tried everything, but
I guess I haven't tried the right thing.
