O
old codger
I am at my wits' end! I have recently acquired a new PC and have installed
Win XP and Office 2003 Professional. I have been using Word 97 and Word
2000 with Outlook 97 for many years and have had no trouble in accessing my
Outlook Contacts address book when I click the 'Insert Address' button in
Word. Now when I try it in Word 2003, I get an error message which tells me I
must make Outlook my default mail client. I DO NOT wish to do this - I
already use Outlook Express very satisfactorily as my default email handler.
I have spent many hours - nay, days, trying to solve this problem. I have
tried this and the Word newsgroup, many MS KB articles, the MVP.org website,
Outlook and Word 'Help' folders, etc, etc, etc, but cannot find a solution.
As far as I can see, Outlook 2003 and Word 2003 seem have taken me one step
forward and two steps back!
Any help would be much appreciated.
