I've run into this question before, and I think the answer is that Word cannot use the Outlook Express address book as a source of addresses. It can, however, use the Outlook contact list. (Despite their names, Outlook and Outlook Express are completely different programs.)
There are pros and cons to using Outlook. This is one of the pros. If you want, you can continue to use Outlook Express for your E-mail, while using Outlook for its calendar, task list, and contacts. You can import the data in your Outlook Express Address Book into Outlook. You would then be able to do what you want in Word.

A question for you all:Jonathan Falk
You know how when working in email, you pull down a list of email addresses and choose one.
I want to be able to do the same thing in Word with snail mail addresses.
In a Word document, choose "Tools", "Envelopes and Labels". There is an icon of an address book that should open the list, but it doesn't. It says I must log on to Microsoft Exchange first.
Outlook Express has spaces for snail mail addresses. There must be a way to access these addresses from Word.
How do I connect the two?
