When I select my contact in Outlook 2003, go to Tools, then Mail Merge, then
in the options box that appears I choose Only Selected contacts, then all
contact fields, then new document, then Document Type - envelopes, then Merge
to new document, then press OK, the merge document shows up on the Word
screen as blank. I definitely have the address typed in the address field of
Outlook and I have it checked to indicate it's the postal address. I would
appreciate any help.

Sounds to me like you haven't even added your merge fields to the document.
Word won't know what to print until you tell it. Follow the Merge Wizard if
you need help.

Thanks Russ. I am an outlook novice. Starting from outlook I want to print an
envelope with the address of one of my contacts one it. I have the outlook
contacts page open with the particular contact selected. How to I get to the
merge wizard from there?

For one envelope mail merge is an overkill. Just create your envelope in
Word selecting your recipient from the Outlook Address Book.
