I use Outlook Express for emails and it has it's own Address Book.

To address envelopes in Word I can retrieve an address only from
Outlook.
When I try to set up addresses in Outlook the only option I get is to
make Outlook my default program for BOTH emails and addresses.

Is it possible to have my postal addresses in Outlook ( to be
retrieved by Word) but still use Outlook Express as my default email
program?

Perhaps. It depends on your version of Outlook. Some versions of Outlook
allowed Outlook Express to use Outlook's Contacts folder for the address
store.
