I am using outlook 2003 and in my contacts folder, but there is no mail merge
option in my tools menu. I need to create address labels from my contacts
folder and can't seem to get anywhere with it. I also tried in word and
can't access my contacts folder from from there either. Any suggestions
anyone?

You have to use Word for your mail merge: Tools-->Letters and Mailings-->Mail
Merge. Select Labels option in the Task Pane and use Outlook Contacts for
your addresses.

Actually option should indeed exist in Outlook as well, providing both
Outlook and Word versions match and are fully and correctly installed.

Thanks for your help, I realized that I was in outlook express and not
Outlook. I have made outlook 2003 my default and have exported my contacts.
I will try again.
