Actually, I don't think it can be done in Word any more. I had one that
worked in Word 2002, but it no longer works in 2003. You can use the Outlook Contacts list but only, I think, if you have Outlook selected as your default mail client. Perhaps I'm wrong about this (I certainly hope so), as I don't use Outlook and so am not familiar with all its features. -- Suzanne S.

Word can't use a .wab, only a .pab. See “WD2000: Which Address Books Can Be
Used with Word?” at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=269111 -- Suzanne S.

..... a pab but not a wab?..
Suzanne, I didn't know that, but if the OP wants an address book, why not just use Address Book.. it's self contained, and doesn't require diddly to operate.. -- Mike Hall MVP - Windows Shell/User "Suzanne S.

Windows Address Book?.. not much. I will admit, but it can be saved as a csv
file which could be manipulated in Excel and then in a Word table, perhaps.. preliminary tests doing this have not been too successful, but with a little work, I could maybe get a list that wasn't in triplicate.. :-) -- Mike Hall MVP - Windows Shell/User "Suzanne S.

Windows Address Book is the .wab, which Word can't use. Yes, you can export
it to a .pab (Personal Address Book) or to .csv. Good luck from there! -- Suzanne S.

So why does it procure a list, some of the entries being duplicated and
other being triplicated?.. one has to wonder if Word makes a good address book at all, certainly from the view of importing from another type of address book.. Of course, the OP could create a table in Word and manually enter details.. -- Mike Hall MVP - Windows Shell/User "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
