in [Beginners]

From: steve52 via OfficeKB.com on 28 Mar 2010 07:37 I am running word 2000 on vista , and when click on tools - envelopes & labels and click on the contact book symbol , I get the message "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client." if I then click OK I get the message "Logon failed. You must log on to Microsoft Exchange to access your address book. Error code: "Unspecified error".". My default email program is windows mail. Any help gatefully received. -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/ms-word-general/201003/1

From: steve52 via OfficeKB.com on 29 Mar 2010 12:47 In windows mail - tools - options -general tab, the section default messaging programs. the lfirst line says" This program is the default mail handler" the make default button next to this is greyed out, and cannot be activated. so why does the system think outlook express is tyhe default, and how do I change it?

The point is, Word will NOT use ANY addressbook OTHER than Outlook. You can use an Excel Spreadsheet or an Access database to do mailmerge from, but ONLY Outlook Contacts. |
