I was wondering if there is a template out there for making my own address
book?

Hi,

Have you tried looking through the samples on dgl.microsoft.com? They have
loads of stuff there. Even if they don't have exactly what you need, it
shouldn't be too difficult to modify something you like.

How do you get Microsoft Word to recognize the windows address book? I would
like to be able to print an address on an envelope but whenever I try,
microsoft word claims I need to be logged onto microsoft exchange. I do
not neven know what microsoft exchange is and I am not particular interested
in it.

Wordperfect gets an address fine out of its own address book. I does not
require me to log onto corel exchange or anything haveing to do with corel.

Please contact me directly if possible. You will have to remove the REMOVE

Word can't use the Windows Address Book. See €œWD2000: Which Address Books
Can Be Used with Word?€�

I exported Outlook Express Address book twice into both formats. Word.csv
and the other format that it allowed. Unfortunatly, the other fomat did not
allow me to coose the folder to put it in. Word does not seem to have an
edit preferences to that it will recognizce the exported address books.]

If I installed the full version of Outlook, would it work then? I have had
outlook but did not care for it as it was cluddered with stuff I do not use.

Why did Microsoft create word so it will not work with an address book that
they created?

Thanks

Any other ideas?

Word will quite happily use a CSV file as a data source for mail merge.

Word will integrate with the Outlook Contacts list -

In order to use Outlook Express, you need Microsoft Exchange which is an
expensive corporate solution. They provided Outlook as part of the Office
suite for the functionality you require.
