Default Need help getting contacts into word for mail merge

I've exported my outlook contacts to a file on my desktop to use for
mail merge, and when I try to set up a new profile in Word (during the
mail merge wizard), I keep getting this message: "Unable to obtain
list of tables from the data source."

How do I set my Outlook Contacts as the source for mail merge to pull
files from. I'm so frustrated with this program!

BTW, is outlook Contacts stored as "outlook.pst" ? That's the file I
exported to my desktop.

I don't know if this makes a difference, but my MS Office 2002 is
actually on my D drive, not my C drive. And, I used to use Corel WP,
so my original contacts folder for mail merge was Corel. How do I
direct (through the wizard) "choose contacts folder" to my outlook
contacts?

Thanks for any help.
