Exporting Contacts -- Problems with Mail Merge

I'm trying to export Contacts from Outlook 2002.

When I try to export, Outlook tells me that it needs a
Translator file from the original Office XP Pro CD.
Unfortunately, I can't find this disk. (It came with my
wife's Dell Dimension.)

Do you know where else I can find these files? I was
hoping to download them from Microsoft Support, but they
don't seem to make them available.

All I want to do is convert the Contacts to a comma-
delimited file so that we can import them into a Word
mail merge process.

Actually, even this is a work-around. My first choice
would be to use "Choose Contacts Folder" in the Word Mail
Merge wizard. For some weird reason, Outlook isn't
communicating with Word, even though Outlook has been
designated as the default mail app.

If anywone has any creative ideas for me, I would be most
greatful.

Thanks.

I can't find your Office CD for you. You'll have to do that. Those files are
not otherwise available.

It is not necessary to export to an external data source for a mail merge as
long as you have the Outlook Address Book installed and configured
correctly. Do you? What steps are you using in the merge and what are your
error messages?
