Populating contact list in WORD 2003 from OUTLOOK 2003, I can't do

[Guest]

Since upgrading to Office 2003 I have not been able to get WORD,
enevelopes and mailing address book to populate from my OUTLOOK address book?
I keep getting a error message about 'setting the default mail client. I use
MSN as my email not OUTLOOK. This letters and mailing worked in OUTLOOK 2000!
Thanks in advance for the helpfor the help.

assuming outlook is set as default in IE's tools, options, programs - run
fixmapi.exe (use search to find it) and if that fails, make a new profile.

I appreciate the help/post. However, what is/are IE's tools. options,
programs-run? I use MSN as my default email not OUTLOOK! In OUTLOOK 2000 I
didn't have this problem! I don't know about profiles, either. Any specific
guidance would be very helpful.
Thanks
Robert

you need to have outlook set as the default mail client to use outlook's
contacts books in a mail merge. It's been so long since I used office 2000,
but I thought it was the same back then.

Thanks again for the help. Is there any way in WORD 2003 to make it use the
OUTLOOK 2003 contacts file?
