But you did not state what you tried and what trouble you were having. We
can't read minds you know.
Simple searches will turn up lots of places you can research mail merges:

BTW, I mentioned in my previous post (see below) that I had consulted
Help.

Did you read the Help files? It's all there.

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.
