labels %26 envelopes
I am using Word 2000 under envelopes and lables and trying to access my
Outlook Express address book. When I click on the address book icon it tells me "logon failed. You need to log onto MS Exchange.... Unspecified error" I use win XP SP2 and Office 2000 without Outlook. I also use MS Fax under these conditions and have no problem accessing the address book with that package. Any ideas please? |

Nope. You cannot access OE address book from Office. Why not use Outlook?
You don't have to use it as your default mail client, but you can open Outlook and IMPORT the OE address book. Then you will have access to your addresses. However, you are missing so much of Office by not using Outlook. The address book is really a Contact Manager and you can do so much more than with OE. There's a great Calendar and you can add all anniversaries once and keep them forever, setting up the Reminder to popup a pre-determined period in advance and a whole bundle of useful tools. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "rogerl" wrote in message ... :I am using Word 2000 under envelopes and lables and trying to access my : Outlook Express address book.

Thanks,
I did install Outlook at one stage but it overpowered everything. I know it upset me at the time and I deleted Office and started again. Admittedly that was some time ago and perhaps a more enlightened me might find it more useful. I shall ponder on the subject!! "TF" wrote: Nope. You cannot access OE address book from Office.

I can sympathize. In its very first version, Outlook asserted itself as my
default mail client and made it difficult (though luckily not impossible) for me to use the mail portion of Internet Mail and News (the precursor of Outlook Express). I have never entirely forgiven it, but I do allow it house room now. I still don't use it for email and perhaps never will, but it's handy for the "electronic appointment cards" I get for online meetings. You don't have to use any of Outlook's other features, either, but if you need an address book that Word can access, then you can use that part and ignore the rest. -- Suzanne S.

In Outlook 2003, under Tools, Options, Other tab, there is a setting that
forces Outlook to be the default Mail, Calendar, Contacts client. Now quite why it is hidden under the Other tab, or why it is needed overriding the settings under Control Panel, Internet Options, Programs Tab settings - who knows? It certainly is a pest to all those that want to use Outlook but not as a mail client! Terry Farrell "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... :I can sympathize.

Whatever it did in those long-ago days removed "Internet Mail" from the
Programs tab of Internet Options as an option for mail client, and "Read Mail" was no longer on the IE toolbar. Luckily I had a desktop shortcut for Internet Mail that I was able to use to start it outside of IE. -- Suzanne S.
