Thanks for suggesting the "new users" group, but I found the fix on my own.

Outlook needs to be set as the default profile for the address book to stop
the crashes.

Nearly 24 hours to get Office 2007 able to create a simple letter to a
contact. What an endorsement.

Thanks. Did that, but now whenever I try to insert an address using this
method, Word 07 crashes and an error message is sent to Mircosoft. Have
not
been able to simply create a letter for a single contact with this method.


Then I suggest you post a message to microsoft.public.word.newusers with the
exact contents of any error messages you get...
