Of course. The information you left out is always the answer. Who in the
world could have guessed you had Corel set as your address book provider?

I solved the problem by removing Corel Address Book from the list of
Address
Books. Opened Control Panel, Open Mail, Select Email Accounts, Select
Address
Books Tab, and removed the Corel Address Book. Leave the Outlook
Contacts.
:
Start by just checking to see if the address book service in Outlook
is
working: when you select it, do you see your Contacts listed as you
should?
Do you have more than one Contacts Folder listed in your address book
view?

Thank you for your very helpful comment. Since I have set Outlook as
my
default mail transport, it must be that the problem is in
configuration.
Do
have any advice on what change I need to make in the configuaration?
:
You are doing the merge from Word even if you start in Outlook.
It's
the
same procedure. What do you need to do differently?
The error message means you don't have your Outlook Address Book
Service
configured correctly or that Outlook is not your default mail
transport.

I tried to prepare a mailing list of labels in Word 2007. I want
to
use
my
Otlook Contacts as the source of addresses. I "Select from
Outlook
Contacts"
and when I choose contacts folder, there is a message, "Unable to
obtain
list
of tables from the data source. I had started the merge from
Outlook
tools
and this works: however, I would prefer to do the merge from
Word.
