Using Address Book in Word

[Guest]

When I go to Tools, Letters & Mailings, Labels and Envelopes and try to
select the Address Book to get a name from my Outlook Contacts, it says I
must set Outlook as my default email client. I don't use Outlook for email!

Is there a way to access my Outlook Contact info in Word to use as addresses
for envelopes? I'm using MS Office 2003.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?Um9u?=,

Trying asking an OUTLOOK newsgroup if there's any way around this.

This neat feature works only with Outlook or some other MAPI software. You
are probably using Outlook Express, which does not do the job. Outlook
Express has a few advantages over Outlook, including being free. But
Outlook's advantages far outweigh them, IMHO.
