I am using Word 2000 and Outlook 2000. When I try to send Mail as Attachment
from Word I cannot find my contacts. The drop down menu only gives me Main
Identity's Contacts and Shared Contacts. How can I see my Outlook Contacts?
Thank you.

"Identities" are used by outlook EXPRESS - are yoy SURE that's not what you
are using? If not, have you tried importing your OE contacts into outlook?
 
Gordon, thanks for the response. That's what's so strange. Word is looking
to OE and I don't use it nor do I have a single contact in there. I keep
looking for some way to have Word see Outlook's Contacts, but no luck. Any
clues?

Outlook 2000 in IMO mode will use the Windows Address Book instead of your
Contacts folder. Start the WAB and look under Tools>Options to see if these
is a choice to stop sharing with Outlook. If there is not, you may have to
change Outlook's mode to CW.
 
You haven't identified your version clearly enough. Outlook 2000 had 2
completely different versions: Internet Mail Only and Corp/Workgroup. Which
are you using?
What have you specified for your default mail program and default Contacts
Manager in Control Panel > Internet Options > Programs?
 
Russ, that was the solution I needed. Thank you.
