I do not know whether it will make a difference in this case, but as a
general rule it is better to start a merge that uses Outlook data by
selecting the contacts in Outlook then using Outlook Tools|Mail Merge...

I an using the Office 2007 Small Business Edition Trial and have a problem
using Mail Merge in Word 2007. I create the mailing as normal then chose
'select recipients' then 'select from outlook contacts' then word just
shuts
down and nothing happens ! If I then reopen word it asks if I would like
to
open the recovered document. Hope someone can help.
