Add Contact Name in Outlook 2007 to a document in Word 2002

[Karnae]

I have been using Word 2002 for years. I recently purchased Outlook 2007 to
store names/addresses that I use over and over in contacts. When I created a
document in Word 2002 I clicked on the "Address Book" icon that I added to
the toolbar in Word 2002. A month or so ago this worked perfectly. It would
open Outlook 2007, I would type the name I wanted to insert, press enter and
it would be inserted where I wanted it in my document in Word 2002. All of a
sudden it has stopped working. When I click on the "address book" icon in
Word 2002 I get an error message stating that Word has encountered and error
and has to shut down and it takes me out of Word 2002 and restarts it. I do
not know how to fix this problem. When I send an error report to Microsoft,
it tells me that I should consider upgrading my Word version. I do not wish
to do this currently and do not understand why it suddenly stopped working. I
would appreciate any help with this. Thanks.
