Depending on which versions of Outlook Express and Outlook you have on your computer, you may have the option of "share address books". If you use this option, then all the addresses and contact info that you put into one program is also available to the other program. I use both programs (OE for Work, Outlook for personal - both on the same computer), and this works very well for me (I believe that option may be disappeared with Office 2000 - but I'm not positive). I have never used this info for anything but emailing (I much prefer to use Access for contact info, including all but the most frequently used email addresses - it's a much more flexible program, if you have the time to learn it), so I can't vouch for how this would work with Word, but you might give it a try.
At the moment, I can't seem to find the place where you have the ability to select this option (It's been a long time since I turned it on) but it's in there somewhere. If I stumble across it in the next few days, I'll write again. -cynthia -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Falk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 5:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [folkschool-list] addresses Sue- 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.
