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.


So why wasn't it? Outlook always makes itself the default email client on
install unless you tell Windows to use something else.


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


Well not really - that would have happened in ANY version if Outlook was not
the default email client...
