Error message in mircosoft word in mail merge coming frm outlook03

[Guest]

I have all of my contacts in Outlook 2003 Office Professional. I want labels
from my contacts I have inputted. I go to mail merge like the directions say
and it brings me to Microsoft Word. I form the page to my avery page for the
labels. I then click on mail merge, then I follow the steps as I get into
step 3 it shows an error box after it trys to locate the contacts in outlook.
I have done this before but for some reason the labels are not there
anymore. Please help me...I have to get my mailings out....and this is
driving me crazy...

State the steps you are using more accurately and clearly.
You should start this merge from Outlook, not Word.
After you select your label type, you should dismiss the mail merge helper
and use the mail merge Toolbar from that point on. Make sure not to skip the
"Propagate Labels" step.
