There is a little icon with a blue open book. In Word 2007 it appears under
Mailing, in the Envelopes and Labels window, to load names and addresses in
envelopes and labels. I think it also appears under the mail merge stuff that
I never use. In Word 2000 and before, I had such an icon installed in my
toolbars. What I did was open the commands and insert the icon above the Word
2007 ribbon. The problem of it not showing the contacts list or address book
arises when I click the address book icon in any of the three places. (For
Word 97, I remember I had to export the contacts data in a comma separated
format and somehow import that into Word, but I don't see anything saying
that is what needs to be done in Word 2007; hopefully not, because the
exported file didn't keep up with changes in the contacts list and therefore
was not dynamic.) When I click address book, Microsoft Outlook shows up in
the window box, but not contacts underneath it--the way it used to when I had
Office 97).

The only address book icon I've ever seen in Word 2007 is the one you add to
the QAT. To what icon are you referring and what do you see when you invoke
it?

Just got Office 2007. My Outlook Contacts look fine; so does the Outlook
Address Book because it shows up when I click the blue address book icon
in
Outlook. However, I don't know how to set up Word 2007 so I can click the
address book icon and get it to show me the names and addresses, so I can
insert a single name and address in a letter. Iam not trying to use mail
merge. I have copied the address book icon to the ribbon in Word 2007 so
it
is accessible without going to envelopes or labels where the icon also
appears.
