Default Office 2000 to 2007. Lost address book?

I just upgraded a client from Office 2000 to Office 2007. One user did
envelopes/labels in Word 2000 and has lost her address book after the
upgrade. Her path was labels, click on the address book icon, select the
addresses, print.
Now that path wants to use Outlook or some other data source for those
addresses.
She doesn't use Outlook, and the Outlook Express addresses are not the ones
she used before. I know Office for Mac deleted some addresses during upgrade;
did the 2007 upgrade do the same?
Any clues what the default address book that Word 200 used was? There are no
*.PAB files on the machine, and the WAB file is the OLXPRS addresses.

Default Office 2000 to 2007. Lost address book?

Ther insert address function requires Outlook to be the default e-mail
application and for the addresses to be stored in Outlook contacts. Outlook
should be able to import addresses from a variety of formats. It is simply a
matter of finding where they were stored. I would have expected the Outlook
Express address book, but it has been a long while since I used Office 2000
