I need to know how to change the source for addresses in
MS Word, envelops and labels, from outlook to outlook
express, or any other source where a comprehensive
address list may be kept.  MS Word only seems to
recognize Outlook.

Another related question is if MS Word can print an
address, whether obtained from an address book or just
typed in the address window, to an individual location on
a sheet of labels.  It seems from the label package and
the MS Word software that only full sheets of the same
address can be printed.  I want to be able to print
individual address on specific locations on the page of
labels.

The address function requires a MAPI compliant address book of which Outlook
is the obvious answer. Outlook Express does not offer a MAPI complaint
address book except when used with Microsoft Exchange - a corporate solution
to messaging which is a far more expensive option. For mail merging from the
Outlook Express address book, you'll first have to export the the contents
to a file.

The label wizard offers all three solutions - full page of the same label.
Individual labels targetted at any label position and new document a blank
sheet of labels you can type into directly.
