You cannot log on to Microsoft Exchange because the chances are that you
don't have this expensive package - unless you are a corporate user. The
message is indicative of the fact that you are using Outlook Express as an
e-mail application. Word requires the use of a MAPI compliant e-mail
application in order to use its address book. That essentially means Outlook
(or Exchange). OE is not a MAPI compliant application.

Graham, I am having the same problem as Buzz accessing the addres
book. I am a corporate user and have the MES (Outlook) system i
place. I can access the address book in Outlook and it works jus
fine. I see no options to add an address book in Word. An

The previous correspondence has lasped from my view of the server and you
have not repeated any of the previous correspondence so I don't know what
went before. Are you saying that you cannot use the Outlook address book
from Word or that the command to call it is missing from the toolbar/menu?

If the former, you need to ensure that Outlook is the default e-mail
application. If the latter, add it using tools > customize > commands >
insert > address book.
