Word has never been able to use the Windows Address Book. It only integrates
with Outlook. You'll need the same version of Outlook as Word.

In the past I used XP and Outlook express. I could use the Outlook express
contact list when I needed to print envelopes for clients using Word. I
never
used Outlook for email, only to keep an address book that could be used by
Word. Now I am using Vista and my version of Outlook does not find my
contacts file (missing WAB.DLL). If I purchase Outlook 2007 will the newer
version allow me to use the contacts in Word? Do I need to purchase a
newer
version of Office?
Thanks
