Can't get Outlook contacts to show up in Word 2007 address book?

What's do you mean by QAT?

The rest of the stuff you posted has never been true in any version of
Office.

There is a little icon with a blue open book. In Word 2007 it appears
under
Mailing, in the Envelopes and Labels window, to load names and addresses
in
envelopes and labels. I think it also appears under the mail merge stuff
that
I never use. In Word 2000 and before, I had such an icon installed in my
toolbars. What I did was open the commands and insert the icon above the
Word
2007 ribbon. The problem of it not showing the contacts list or address
book
arises when I click the address book icon in any of the three places. (For
Word 97, I remember I had to export the contacts data in a comma separated
format and somehow import that into Word, but I don't see anything saying
that is what needs to be done in Word 2007; hopefully not, because the
exported file didn't keep up with changes in the contacts list and
therefore
was not dynamic.) When I click address book, Microsoft Outlook shows up in
the window box, but not contacts underneath it--the way it used to when I
had
Office 97).

The only address book icon I've ever seen in Word 2007 is the one you add
to
the QAT. To what icon are you referring and what do you see when you
invoke
it?

Just got Office 2007. My Outlook Contacts look fine; so does the
Outlook
Address Book because it shows up when I click the blue address book
icon
in
Outlook. However, I don't know how to set up Word 2007 so I can click
the
address book icon and get it to show me the names and addresses, so I
can
insert a single name and address in a letter. Iam not trying to use
mail
merge. I have copied the address book icon to the ribbon in Word 2007
so
it
is accessible without going to envelopes or labels where the icon also
appears.
