[Guest]

folders? I have tried mail merge from outlook and word and run into
stumbling blocks from both ends. In word when i choose use outlook conatct
folder from the wizard it says unable to obtain list of tables from data
source. When I go through outlook it always comes up blank or with next
record wriiten all over page. Please help!!

I assume you are running Office 2007, not just Outlook 2007 with an earlier
version of Word (which would not let you do a mail merge). Try running
Office Diagnostics from the Help menu of either program and see if it comes
up with anything.

Why doesn't outlook 2007 work with word 2003 mail merge? Is this to force
you to buy Word 2007 or is there a functional reason?

Integration among Office applications has always required that the versions
match. Of course there is a functional reason. Integration among Office
applications has always been anemic and fragile. There is no way to code
Office to support integration among disparate versions. Microsoft can't even
get it right for the same version.
