Email Messages not an option in mail merge

[lstamper]

When going through the mail merge wizard in Word 2003 on a Windows XP
machine, on the first step of Select a Document Type, E-mail messages
is not in the list.

What do I need to change in the configuration to get the option of E-
mail message under the Select a Document Type heading in the first
step of the mail merge wizard?

Thanks for your help.

Start the merge from Outlook. If E-mail is not available as a document type,
then most likely your Outlook version does not match your Word version or
you have not configured Outlook as your default mail provider and Contacts
manager in your OS.
