There is a little icon with a blue open book. In Word 2007 it appears under
Mailing, in the Envelopes and Labels window, to load names and addresses in
envelopes and labels. I think it also appears under the mail merge stuff that
I never use. In Word 2000 and before, I had such an icon installed in my
toolbars. What I did was open the commands and insert the icon above the Word
2007 ribbon. The problem of it not showing the contacts list or address book
arises when I click the address book icon in any of the three places. (For
Word 97, I remember I had to export the contacts data in a comma separated
format and somehow import that into Word, but I don't see anything saying
that is what needs to be done in Word 2007; hopefully not, because the
exported file didn't keep up with changes in the contacts list and therefore
was not dynamic.) When I click address book, Microsoft Outlook shows up in
the window box, but not contacts underneath it--the way it used to when I had
Office 97).
