I am trying to print an envelope in Word 2007 using an address from my
Outlook 2007 business contact manager database.  When I click on the add
recipient button for envelopes in Word I have access to contacts in my
Outlook 2007 address book but my business contacts are not available.  I used
to have access to my Outlook business contacts in Office 2007.  Any ideas how
I can enable access to business contact manager data?

Thanks,
Will

If you start in the Business Contacts folder in OUtlook, do you see a Mail Merge command on the Tools menu?

Yes.  What do I do with it?

Click it and you'll see options that would allow you to print envelopes for selected contacts.

You might also want to check whether the Properties dialog for the BCM folder has the "Show in Outlook Address Book" box checked. However, the Word interface to Outlook's address book has long been a bit on the flakey side.

Sue, you are a genius.  Checking "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book"
did the trick.  The business contact database is now available in Word as it
was in the previous version and putting addresses on envelopes for single
contacts is easy without having to go through a mail merge rigmarole. Thanks!
