Word 7 Mail Merge using Outlook Contacts
I am using Microsoft Outlook 2007 and Word 7. I want to use names from my
Outlook contact list in a mail merge. When I get to the point where I select Choose Contacts Folder under Select from Outlook Contacts, I get the message: Error has occurred: MAPI folder or address book not found. After clicking on OK then I get a Data Link Properties box to fill in. What to do? |

Word 7 Mail Merge using Outlook Contacts
We have no idea which steps you are using. It appears you have not
configured the Outlook Address Book Service correctly. Have you? Provide full details of how you did so, which steps you are using for the merge, and what happens. Follow the many posts provided here that will help you. http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm -- Russ Valentine "Busycj" wrote in message ...

Word 7 Mail Merge using Outlook Contacts
I would try the other approach to merging from Outlook contacts: in
Outlook, select the contacts you need, then go to Outlook Tools-Mail Merge... and take it from there. If you already have merge fields inserted in your mail merge main document, you /may/ need to change some of them because the names of the fields can differ depending on which approach you use.
