I'm new to Outlook 2003. I'm trying to set up a mail merge from Word and
Outlook. When I try from Word it wont allow me to use the selected Contact
Folder. When I try from Outlook it tells me to connect to using a Data Link??

The Mail Merge wizard is not helping out at all, anyone have an easy way to
walk me through this?
 
Try starting the merge from Outlook. In your contacts folder, choose Tools |
Mail Merge.
 
I've tried that as well. When attempt that from Word using the wizard, I try
to use the data source "my outlook folder" after which it wont let me merge
the data into the document I have chosen. In this case an envelope. The mail
merge function was much more user friendly in 2000.
 
That's the point. Don't use the wizard in Word. Start in Outlook.
