mail merge from Microsoft Works Address book to make labels

[Mellisa @ Midwest]

I have 850 addresses in the Address Book located in Microsoft Works. I'm
running XP and have Publisher 2003 and Word options to make these labels, but
I can't seem to get either to locate this address book. Please HELP. I'm on
a deadline

As a work around, you can export your Windows Address Book (*.wab) as a
*.csv file. Open the Windows Address Book and go to File > Export > Other
Address Book > Text File (comma sep value).

After you have exported your Address Book, browse to the *.csv file when
choosing your datasource for the merge in Publisher.
