I am using Office XP Standard for students. I have a list
of contacts in Outlook that are friends, family, and
businesses. The contact list is set up to show as an
email address book. When I'm in Word to print the address
on an envelope and bring up the contact list, all I get is
the friends and family but not any of the businesses.

How do I get the businesses to show?

Thanks,

Kevin
 
Are you talking about separate Contacts Subfolders? And are you certain that
the "Businesses" subfolder is enabled as an email address book and yet fails
to display in the "show names from the" dropdown when you invoke the "Insert
Address" button form Word?
That would indeed be inexplicable.
 
No, I don't have any subfolders set up, everything is
organized by categories. So, just the Contacts folder,
many categories.

HOWEVER...
I just did an experiment and put the business contacts
into a subfolder and made sure the subfolder could be seen
as an email folder. Then it hit me: "as an EMAIL
folder". I put in an email and bingo! I could see it in
the address book in Word. Personally, I think that's a
stupid criteria to have to make the address show.

Is there a way to just have the whole address book show up
reguardless of what fields are incomplete?

Show up where?
Only Contacts with electronic addresses will show up in the Outlook Address
Book.
In Word, all Contacts will show up unless you're configured incorrectly--as
you would be, for instance, if you did an upgrade installation from IMO
mode.
