That seems to be different from what both Outlook Help and Word indicate,
but my unfamiliarity with the terminology may be at fault. How can I
extract the postal addresses from Outlook for use in a Word mail merge?

The Outlook Address Book Service only displays electronic addresses.
That's what it's for. That has no bearing on a mail merge. You aren't
merging to the address book. You are merging to your Contacts Folder. You
only need the address book _service_ (not the view). The address book
service is the transport for the merge.

Thanks. I've made Outlook my default mail program. However, I've tried a
number of ways to get the addresses to the address book without success.
When I go to Properties of a contact folder and create an address book,
only Contacts with an email address or Fax number show up in the address
book. Does that mean that I cannot use the address book for mail merge
unless there is one of those associations?

If so, if I were to create a fictitious email address or fax number,
would that allow me to access, for mail merge, the street addresses of
the Contacts?

You must make Outlook your default mail program and your default
Contacts manager. You must store your Contacts in Outlook.
