printing lables and envelopes from contacts

Since I have Vista on a new machine I can,t print lables and envelopes from
my contacts.It just closes down.I paid MS $49 and they told me to use mail
merge.This is too cumbersome to do.Any other ideas or patches available ?

In what application and version are your contacts stored and how were you
printing labels and envelopes previously? Are you talking about printing
one label or envelope at a time or printing a batch of labels or envelopes?

Assuming there are not application compatibility issues, it possibly an
issue with your printer driver. Have you checked the printer manufacturer's
website for the latest Vista compatible drivers for your printer.

I,m using MS Office 2007 Small business.Vista OS.And Outlook Contacts.To
print one lable or envelope at a time.I had XP and used Outlook Contacts on
my old computer and no problem.MS Tech ($49) told me it was a known issue
and the workaround was to use Mail Merge.I didn,y know if anyone else had run
into this.

Okay, if it's a known issue (I'm not using Office 2007) try one of the
Office newsgroups as they more likely have a work around.
