Word 2003 "Envelopes and Labels" fails to insert address into
Yes I can, but not with enough detail to be useful. Via "Start|Run|services.msc" I disabled some (between 5 and 10) XP SP2 services that were running but did not appear useful to me. I followed http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/service411.htm as a guide as to which XP Services could "safely" be disabled. When I say "not with enough detail to be useful" I mean I did not record the list of services that I disabled, there prior settings, nor do I even know the "default" setting is for each specific service, that is, Disabled, Manual or Automatic. - Peter Sale USA "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Odd. Since this used to work, can you think of any changes you made to your configuration? For example, is Outlook your default mail program and your default Contacts Manager for your OS? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "psale" wrote in message ... Yes I do, its just that clicking on any of the available contacts fails to actually insert that contact's address (or anything at all) into that Word document. - Peter Sale USA "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: So when you open the address Book in Word, do you see all your Contacts displayed? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "psale" wrote in message ... As you correctly point out, the KB article contained instructions for a variety of alternatives. I did not "just" copy and paste them. Instead, I copied and pasted the appropriate alternative instructions, the instructions that applied to my particular circumstance, the instructions that I actually did follow. With respect to the "status" of my "Contacts Folder" and "Outlook Address Book service" in the first place or even their status now, I'm not sure that I know what you mean and/or where to look to ascertain this information. Russ Valentine asked: "When you open the address book in Word, what appears in the "Show Names from the:" box?" Ans: I see "Contacts" beneath and slightly indented to "Outlook Address Book". My recollection is that I have always seen this, both when I was enjoying proper operation of Word 2003's "ToolsLetters and MailingEnvelopes and Labeling" facility to print off a single addressed envelope, and even after this Word facility abruptly stopped working. Russ Valentine asked: "What do you see when you open the address book in Outlook?" Ans: Actually, I'm not certain I know what you're talking about or how to do this either. In Outlook 2003 I have dealt with "Contacts" not "Address Books." Among other tasks, I use Outlook to send email, clicking on the little "open book" icon to the left of the "To.", "CC." and "BCC." text in newly created emails. This Outlook 2003 facility for inserting appropriate email addresses into newly composed email messages continues to work properly, if this is what you mean. - Peter Sale USA |

Word 2003 "Envelopes and Labels" fails to insert address into enve
Problem resolved!
I entered “Services Configuration” via “Start|Run|services.msc” and set the following two Windows XP SP2 services to start automatically: 1. Alerter 2. Messenger Prior to suffering this problem, I had “Disabled” both of these two services along with a group of 5 to 10 other services. Next I rebooted my Windows XP Pro SP2 PC. Then I started Word 2003 and a dialog was displayed, something about my Profile and/or user name and requesting that I provide my initials, which I did, and click “OK”, which I did. Lastly I attempted to insert an Address from within Word and the selected address was correctly inserted. - Peter Sale USA "psale" wrote: I have used the Outlook 2003's contacts and/or address book entries to address and then print individual envelopes in Word 2003 via "ToolsLetters and MailingsEnvelopes and Labels..." for years. Just recently this technique fails to actually insert the desired address into an "envelope." Up until the moment that I click on the desired address within the "Contacts" file (while both and "Outlook Address Book" and a "Personal Address Book" appear under Word's "Show Names from the:" dropdown, for some reason they display no names) everything seems to be working. It’s just that the desired address is NOT inserted into the "Delivery address:" field of the "Envelopes and Labels" dialog. I did disable some "unneeded" XP services via "services.msc", which may or may not have anything to do with my problem. Software environment includes following: Outlook 2003 Word 2003 XP Professional w/ SP2 Current Microsoft updates (Automatic Updates up and running) ClearContext (an Outlook Plug-in) OfficeCalendar (software to allow sharing contacts and calendars across the internet) - Peter Sale USA |
