How do I use the address book in Outlook Express in a mail merge?

[Dave F]

I have Microsoft Office which includes Word 2002. I would like to use my
address book in Outlook Express as the source for the merge. I can't. Word
says there is no file found. Any ideas?
Thanks.

The OE address book is not compatible. You can only use a MAPI compliant
address book, which usually means Outlook. The only solution is to export
the addresses to a text file and use the file as a data source.
