I am inquiring about accessing Windows default address book in Word 2003 for
my aunt who is just learning computers. She doesn't want to go onto net yet
till she has got use to computer. Is there a way she can access the addresses
she has put in?

Not from the Windows Address Book, no. Word only supports Address Books of a
particular type (MAPI-compliant), such as the Outlook address book (NOT Outlook
Express).
