Word 2002 and Address Books

**GiganticDays** · February 7th, 2002, 03:38 PM

Anyone know enough about Word 2002 to help with this problem?
I use Office XP but have recently uninstalled the Outlook program as it was having problems with Winfax Pro 10.02 (Outlook would lock up when attempting to open certain emails abut would be fine as long as Winfax wasn't running). Since Winfax is more important to me than Outlook I did away with it and now use Act 2000 from Symantec for Contact management, calendar etc.
Everyone is living happily with each other until I try to print an envelope in Word 2002 when I get the following message:-

"Logon failed. You must logon to Microsoft Exchange to view your address book. Error code: "Unspecified Error".

This is obviously because Outlook is no longer there, but is there any way to access a different address book such as Act or Outlook Express?
I really don't want to go back to Outlook just for the address book so I'd be grateful for some alternatives.

Hmmm, nasty. It should be able to access your Personal Address Book (Outlook Express). Sounds like something has got corrupted. Maybe if you reinstall Outlook and just don't use it?...

Users are sure to find in outlook express errors and open .dbx files tool, simple yet versatile, to solve potential problems and stay in control of damaged dbx files in the safe folder.
