Mail Merge using MS Word and Outlook-Unable to merge Contacts data

When I run the mail merge wizard in MS Word I get the
following message at Step 3 (Select Recipients, Select
from Outlook Contacts, Choose Contacts Folder):

"Either there is no default mail client or the current
mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please
run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail
client."

I have followed the steps to make Microsoft Outlook the
Default Mail Client (Tools, Options, Other, Check the Box
for "Make Outlook the default program for Email, Contacts
and Calendar") but the box was already checked.

I took a shot at unchecking it and rechecking it and
applying the setting but that was no help.

The bottom line is that I am unable to import the
Contacts information into a mail merge and can not figure
it out.

Any help would be of great assistance.
