Paul, I have access to two machines, one running Outlook 2000 on an Exchange
server, the other running 2003 standalone. It's been a while since I've run
2000 standalone, so I don't remember exactly how to go about adding an
address book in that configuration. It may go something like this:

Tools (menu) e-mail accounts view or change existing directories next.
Add Additional Address Books Outlook
Address Book. If it's already there, remove it, save/exit, then re-add it.

This procedure is described in Microsoft's Knowledge Base article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/197907, but I see that that article assumes
that you have installed Outlook with the Corporate or Workgroup option. It
may be necessary for you first to repeat your installation of Outlook and
select the Workgroup option.

If anyone else out there is reading this thread, please feel free to jump in
and weigh in on this.

DDM,

Reread your last post to me and your opening comment about Exchange Server
is not correct.

Word 2000 and Outlook 2000 is running on a Normal PC running XP.

What does that now mean ?

Thanks
Paul

DDM,

I had time tonight to check out your procedure for Adding Outlook
Address
Book as an Information Service.

I go to Tools (menu) but I cannot then see the Services tab, box etc.

I am using Outlook 2000, but I also checked my other system whicj has
Outlook 2002 and I could not fine Services on that one either ?

Which version are you relating your procedure to ?

Thank you,
Paul

Paul, this was my answer:

Assuming you're on an Exchange server:

First, in Outlook, add "Outlook Address Book" as an information
service.
Here's how:
In Outlook, Tools (menu) Services Add Outlook Address Book
OK OK.
Restart Outlook

Then designate your Contacts folder as an Outlook Address Book. So:
Open your Contacts folder.
File (menu) Folder Properties for "Contacts" Outlook Address
Book
Check "Show this folder as an e-mail address book" OK.

Your Contacts folder should then be available in Word.

Please see correspondence below this message.
When I use the subject programs I cannot get to the Address
Book in
Outlook
2000 which is my default email program. I have over 500
Contacts /
Address
Book email addresses. I type a document in Word 2000 click on
File /
Send
To/
Mail Recipient and it calls up Outlook 2000 ans when I call up
the
Address
Book does not show any of email addresses. I did finally do
the
procedure
as
IanRoy gave me below:

Found additional info, if you don't see "Contacts" in the
dropdown I
mentioned: Open your contacts folder. Then File Folder
Properties
for
"Contacts" Outlook Address Book. Check "Show this folder as
an
e-mail
address book."

But when I get to the Show this folder as an email it is
already there
with
a check mark and it is grayed out and you can't change it.

There has got to be some simple explanation why we can't get
to the
Outlook
Address Book - PLEASE someone HELP !!

Thank you,
Paul



IanRoy,

It was a longer half time show so I went to try what you
suggested.

I am using Oulook 2000 - I can't find any of the items you are
mentioning.

I click on File, but I don't see Folder and thenI can't go any
further.

Are you using Outlook 2003 ?

Please let me know.

Thaank you,
Paul

It doesn't appear to be. Have you tried "Show Names from
the:
Contacts"
instead of "Show Names from the: Outlook Address Book" at
the
upper
right of
the "Select Names" dialog?

...Does it mean you can build a Contact List in Outlook
and this really isn't also the Address Book ?

Please someone help.
Thank you,.
