Envelopes from Contacts

[ken911]

How do I print envelopes using the information from my Windows Contacts? I
go to Microsoft Word, start mail merge, select envelopes, format the
envelope, and then click "select receipients." When I click on "use existing
list" I can get to my windows contacts but they do not seem to load into the
address field of the envelope.

I don't think you can use Windows Contacts for that.
You will need to use Outlook's contacts.

Not directly, but you can export the contacts to a .csv file, which can then
be used.
According to my Outlook 2003 help, Word can use Outlook contacts, an Excel
worksheet, or text files for the data.

So you can export the Windows Mail contacts into a CSV file, which you
should be able to use.

Here is a tutorial..

I know it is possible to do because the strange thing is that I actually had
these set up a couple of weeks ago when I was first trying. I was able to
actually preview each envelope and all of the contacts were there. Our
christmas cards were not ready to go out yet and I still had no envelopes so
I did not print at that time. Instead of saving my work I just thought I
would remember what I did and finish them up this week. So, I do know it is
possible. I just cannot seem to get back there.
