I have not seen this before, but the Outlook newsgroup may be able to help.
However
http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm will suggest a
workaround.

Working with XP Pro SP2, and Outlook/Word 2003
Trying to do a Word Envelope merge for the Contacts in Outlook. As
I use the Wizard I come to the part where I select Use Outlook
Address Book, select Contacts. At that point, the wizard shows the
field names from Outlook, but none of the contacts.
So far, I have:
Checked to make sure that "show this file as an email address book" is
checked on the contacts folder properties page.
Made sure I can see the contacts in the address book when composing
an email - I can.
Scrolled the entire lenght of the contact merge window in Word
(thinking that the first several contacts may not have full contact
records - but the whole window is empty... yet I have a scroll bar
that I can move - which is odd.
I have only one profile under Control Panel | Mail
Outlook is set to be the default email program
I have only one contact folder to choose from
I have run scanpst on the pst file in question.
Unintalled and reinstalled Word. Backed Up Outlook and uninstalled,
reinstalled Outlook.
I think something is corrupted somewhere in the registry that it is
grabbing an empty address book somewhere... or there is there a
setting buried somewhere that I am missing. Any suggestions greatly
appreciated.
