See if http://snipurl.com/ehp helps you (it's a direct link to a word
document).

There's also a MS support doc:

Looks as if the key is making the contacts need to be shown as an address
book, you can then select "Use Address Book"

HTH, Have fun...

Hopefully someone who has Office 97 installed can help you, P....since I
don't, right now....but I could reinstall it, if no one chimes in to help
you, I guess.

I can only tell you that in Office 2000, in the Mail Merge dialog box, where
you choose your data source, one of the choices is Outlook Contacts.  Do you
not have that choice in 97?  I can't remember.  Since earlier versions of
Office had SO many bugs when it came to merging from Outlook, I never really
used it.  I just made a group in Outlook and sent the Word doc as an
attachment...but since you are trying to do this with labels, obviously this
isn't an option.

Finally, in Office XP, mail merges to Outlook Contacts actually seems to be
bug free....but in the earlier versions it always caused problems.

Anybody out there have Office 97 installed?  Can someone walk P thru this?
Is it different than Office 2000?  I really can't remember.

Hi Linda, 

I tried to do a mail merge.  I got to the part where I needed to chose data
source and got lost.  I couldn't figure out how to bring my contacts in as
the data source.  Would you please give some direction.

TIA,

P.
