Make your changes in Outlook, not the address book. The link between
Word/Outlook 2000 is somewhat tenuous and easily damaged. If you make *any*
changes in Address Book, chances are that it will change the display in
Outlook Contacts.
If you set the view in Outlook to 'detailed address cards' - Word will
insert the addresses as they are displayed. Any entry that doesn't have an
address shown in this view needs to be opened and resaved.
Fortunately this link has been improved for the current versions.

I deleted just one name from the Address book and it also deleted the
name from Contacts. I reentered the data then went into
WORD/Envelopes and the address came out OK. Not a great way to fix
the problem but it is a fix. I think I'll try making a copy of the
contact under another name, deleting the name from Address then
renaming the copy. That should do the same thing, breaking the link
to WORD. Thanks for the help. ---peter---

This is a question for an Outlook group, but when the Contacts list
is updated, the address book should be also as they are linked. You
could try deleting the address book (NOT THE CONTACTS LIST!!!) from
Outlook then add it again to re-establish the link.

I've been using Envelops and Labels in WORD (2000) for some time. I
used the pulldown in Envelopes to select the address from my Outlook
Contacts. Recently one of my contacts moved. I updated their
address in Contacts but cannot seem to find a way for the new
addess to available in WORD Envelopes. I tried deleteing the person
from the pulldown but it won't go away. I tried blanking out the
address after inserting from the pulldown, then pasting in the new
address. That works for that time only but the pulldown still has
the old address next time.
Any suggestions?
Could it be some problem with the Address Book versus Contacts? I
have been using Contacts for years since it first became available.
