Thank you for the discussion.
But may be I was not clear enough with my question:
I do NOT want to access Outlook address from the OE.
I want to use Outlook address book in the Microsoft Word to address
envelopes WITHOUT making Outlook my email program.

Outlook doesn't have an address book. The "Outlook Address Book" is just a
view of the electronic addresses in your Contacts folder(s).

I want to continue to use OE Address Book (.wab) for the email
addresses.

If you don't have contacts in the Outlook Contacts folder, how do you expect
to mail merge to envelopes?
