Default Word 2003 doesn't see Outlook 2003 Contacts

The problem was that an older .pst file (from Outlook 97) was copied over
for use in Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2003 could not properly make the
contacts available to Word 200 for the purposes of Mail Merge.

The soluion was to remove the old .pst and create a new .pst and then import
the old data into the new .pst.

In Word 2003, during the Mail Merge wizard, my Outlook contacts are not
showing up, when Outlook is selected as the data source (BTW Outlook 2003
as well).

The contact folder in Outlook does have its property set to act as an
address book.

Thanks
