Mail to addresses in Outlook

I use Outlook contacts to manage my contacts list, but I put them in separate
folders to help me manage the separate categories of contacts. This works
fine for me, but when I want to use Word for mailings, then I can't go
directly to my contact unless the contact is in the general category
"Contacts". I used to be able to do this with Office 2000, but can't with
2007. This problem also occurs when I try to search for a contact after
starting a new email message. I will click a new email message. Instead of
typing the address, I would like to look it up in my contact list, but can't
sense I use folders other than the general folder "Contacts". Like I say, I
used to be able to do this in Office 2000. Does anyone know what I'm talking
about?
 
This forum is for Word, however right click the contacts folder in the left
side task pane and select 'properties'. Under the Outlook Address Book tab,
check the 'show this folder as an e-mail address book' box. You will then be
able to select the required folder from the address book dialog.

I was able to follow what you said in setting up the emails to be able to
pull addresses from my added folders, but I got lost with the mail merge. It
sounds like this is a way to accomplish what I was trying to accomplish with
the "Mailings" - "Envelopes" then look up the contact in my added folder,
except that you pull all contacts from Outlook in a Merge or possibly
selected contacts. I appreciate your help, but I may need to study your
article and Mail Merges a little more to see what you are saying can be done.
Sorry about pulling you away from Word in this forum. Thanks again!
