When I try to do a mail merge for envelopes again my other one got lost
somehow, anyways word always says it can't open source or address book, I
have over 100 names. Do I have to type them all again? All info is greatly
apprecaited, I have tried everything, but I guess I haven't tried the right
thing.

What is the source that the addresses are contained in?

My addresses are in my word address book and in outlook express, but no
matter what I try to get my resources from word says it can't open it. Can't
seem to figure out why, I have 134 name to merge, there has to be an easier
way than typing all again. Thanks

The Outlook Express address book is not compatible with this function. It
requires Outlook. You would have to export the addresses from the address
book to a file and use that file as a data source.
