Hello All, I am attempting to setup mail merge on a new computer system that is Vista based. I have tried with 2.4.0 and currently with 2.4.1 versions of OOo.
The OOo help system instructs me to use File->Templates->Address Book Source to setup the address book database for a mail merge. When I attempt to do so and select "Windows system address book" under the Administration button, it responds back with "No Outlook Express Address book exists." Well, that is correct. This is Windows Vista and it does not have Outlook Express. And I did not instruct it to use Outlook Express. The option stated it was for "Windows system address book". Under Vista, that is Windows Contacts and it is used by Windows Mail. I also tried the option for Other external data sources. In the list provided of data sources, Windows address book was also listed again. But only resulted in the same error message. There did not appear to be an obvious choice to support Windows Contacts for a mail merge. When I reviewed the options in Windows Contacts for exporting the database, it does not provide a choice for the old address book format. The old .wab format is only available for importing into Windows Contacts. Any assistance here would be appreciated. Thank you, James --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
