Hi,
I use the outlook (2003) address book for Word (2007) USPS mail addresses.
The default profile comes up as Outlook Address Book. It should be Contacts. (this is Outlook Cantacts not Windows)
I can get to Contacts if I choose OK on the empty Outlook Address Book. Then I can choose Contacts from the dropdown. . If I try to change the profile to Contacts I am instructed to go to Control and the mail icon and create another profile. It also says that I can click show profiles. I don't see a mail icon in Control Panel. I need help in changing the default from Outlook Address Book to Contacts.
Thanks
Frank C

Hi Frank,

I don't know whether I'll be able to help you with this or not, but what I can do is fix your screenshots:

Posting your address publically on the internet is never a good idea :)

Anyways, have you checked within the settings of microsoft word itself for the mailing options?

I found this for Word's options.
Configure Word's Options - Microsoft Word 2007 - Tips for Word Processing

I was there and saw nothing for address book
However, this was some help:
instert outlook contact address into word 2007

It did not get directly to Contacts but it did get rid of the "Outlook Address Book" in the dropdown. Now it just has "Outlook" in the dropdown. If I click OK it goes to "Contacts". That is some better than before the change.
I'll live with this
