PROBLEM INSERTING ADDRESSES FROM WORD 2000

[Guest]

Running Word 2000 and Outlook Express 6 on a Windows XP Home machine. I
believe that these are really two seperate address books which can't be
integrated. So, it seems I am forced to manually enter addresses into the
WORD 2000 address book. If I enter a home address for a person and press
"Insert Address" all I get is just the person's name. IF, I enter the address
under the business address tab then I get the full address. Is there any way
to change this behavior ... OR do we simply have to enter all addresses under
business .. EVEN if they are really HOME addresses?? This seems weird!!

HELP please from someone who has been down this path??

You'll need to ask this in an OUTLOOK (not Express, the real thing) newsgroup.
Word uses the Outlook address book and what you get is controlled by Outlook.
What you describe was certainly an issue in early versions of Outlook. Not sure
if it could be changed in 2000 - been a long time. But the specialists my still
know.
