    Word Envelope Address Source

    Hi,
    I have kept Outlook 2003 just to have an address source for Word 2007 envelopes. Is there a way to direct word to another address source?
    Could I, for example, set up a MYSQL data base of addresses and get them into the Word envelopes?
    Or, could I use an Excel table?
    Thanks
    Frank C

    Thanks for the reply Lottie.
    The reference deals with mail merge. I only want to print one envelope and use a source other that Outlook. This would mean directing word to an address source other than Outlook. I don't see this capability in Word > Mailings > Envelopes > Envelopes and Labels screen. Perhaps there is a way to print only one envelope with mail merge but this seems to be over kill. I had better stick with outlook for addresses. It would be nice to have all of this information in one place such as the email address book and have word find it there.
    Thanks
