I am trying to create mailing labels.

I select "Tools" "Mail Merge" "All Contacts" "Current
View" "New Document" "Permanant File" (with appropriate
file name) "Mailing Labels" "OK"

When the Word page opens I select "Create Mailing Labels"
and select the proper type.

I then insert the fields that I want (first and last name,
home address, city, state, and zip). I click OK.

I then "Get Data" using the appropirate Outlook folder.

I then "Merge" all records to "New Document" and
select "Print Blank Lines when Data fields are empty"

When I hit "Merge" I get a message that says "This merge
field exists in the document but not in the data source"
for Home Address Street. I get the same for Home Address
City, State, and Postal Code.

I have verified that this information DOES exist in
Outlook (hand entered by me using the Address Home dialog
and entering each item appropriately.

What am I doing wrong?

Not enough information to unravel this.
For starters, post your mail support mode of Outlook.
Also, what fields did you select to merge?

Doing a "mail support mode" search directed me
to "Tools" "Options" and I have the Options dialog with
its many tabs. I am usure of what information you want.
Also, what fields did you select to merge?
Click to expand...

Selected "First Name," "Last Name," "Home Address
Street," "Home Address City," "Home Address State,"
and "Home Address Zip/Postal Code".

I will provide any additional information you request.

Thank you for your time.

Mail support mode is listed in line 2 of Help | About.

Field selection would have been the second choice you made in the Mail Merge
dialog > Fields to Merge

Still nothing here.
Look at line 2 of Help About in Outlook. That's where your mail support mode
is listed. You only have two choices. Internet Mail Only or Corp/Workgroup.
I did not ask the fields you selected _during_ the merge. You already posted
that. I asked which fields you made available when you set the merge up:
"Fields to Merge" in the initial mail merge dialog box.
