I am using Outlook 2003 on my home computer. In my contacts, I have all of
my people I would like to send emails to, but only a couple show up in my
address book. Is there a way to merge my contacts into my address book, or
do I just have to manually add them like I did the few I have in there.

Try right-clicking your Contacts folder, going to Properties | Outlook Address
Book and make sure it's set to be shown as an Address Book.

Are all the contacts in the same contacts folder or in different ones? If
they're all in the same folder you should be able to see all of them in the
Outlook Address Book.

All of the contacts are in the same folder. From the outlook home page, I
click on contacts in the bottom left and the view changes to show all of my
contacts. When I go back into my inbox and create a new email, after
clicking on To: only the few entries I have added manually to my address book
show up. I checked what Ben suggested, and that was already done.
 
Go to Tools | E-mail Accounts, click View or change existing directories or
address books, click Next. Does the Outlook Address Book appear in the
list? If so, select and click Change. Do all your preferred contacts
folders appear there? If not, try deleting and readding the Outlook Address
Book and see if that makes a difference.
