Mailing Labels from Address Book?

[DesRev1]

People,



I have to send out form letters to about 50 contractors on my community's vendor list.



First, I created the form letter in Word (2000.)



Then, I opened Address Book, created a sub-folder under Main Identity's Contacts; & entered in Company names & addresses as new contacts for every contractor.



Now...all I want to do is create mailing labels for all the various companies.



How in the heck is this done?



I started down the mail merge path, but got extremely lost.



Thanks,

I understand that this works best if you start the merge from Outlook. But

Sue...

To do that...I have to somehow import data (company names & addresses) from
my Address Book into Outlook (since the Mail Merge works via the Outlook
Contacts View)...or export that same data from Address Book into Outlook (to
set up a Contacts folder.)

If the address book is a WAB, you should be able to export to a PAB.

Export to where?

How do I get the data into Outlook...is there a folder or something of the
sort that I navigate to?

Thanks,

You'll need to ask this in an Outlook NG, but a PAB is an Outlook address
book.
