I use:
Win XP Pro
Office XP incl
Outlook 20o2

My Contacts list is available. However, when I am in the Inbox and click New|Mail Message a word window is returned with a "To" button. Clicking on "To" returns a blank "Select Name" window with a blank"Show Names From The:" drop down menu. The other panes in this window are also blank.

How can I get my Contacts and Address Book working properly?

Make sure you have the contacts turned on as Outlook Address Book. Here are
the steps:

- goto Contacts
- Right Click Contacts under My Contacts on your left Pane and select the
Properties
- goto Outlook Address Book tab and trun on 'Show this folder as an email
Address Book'

This should help you get the address from contact available for your new
mail message.

Tip: Just type few letters on To address field on your new email and press
CTRL + K, which will give the list of names from the address book.

I'm trying to print envelope labels for a bulk mailing by using an Outlook Contacts list. Is this possible?
 
Thanks for the help. Now, the "Show thiss folder as the e-mail address book" checkbox is grayhed out. I cannot turn it on.

Any other suggestions?

Go to Tools | E-mail accounts, select "View or change existing directories
or address books", and click OK. If you don't see the OAB in the Directories
and Address Books list, click the Back button, then select "Add a new
directory or address book", then "Additional Address Books", and add the
OAB. Then keep clicking Back until you get back to the first dialog box,
and go back to the Directories and Address Books list as you did earlier.
Once the OAB appears in the list, select it and then click Change to make
sure the Contacts folder(s) you want to display are listed. If any of them
aren't listed, you'll need to enable those Contacts folders as Outlook
Address Books by right clicking the folder, selecting Properties, clicking
the Outlook Address Book tab, and checking the "Show this folder as an
E-mail address book" box. Make sure you restart Outlook after making these
changes.

Outlook uses Word for performing mail merge functions such as Form Letters,
mailing labels, envelopes, and fax or email merges. For an overview of these
functions take a look here:
