Default "To" has stopped auto-filling addresses - what's up?

What happens when you click To?

Standard fix is below:

If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when
you click on the To button, check these settings:

Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right
click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is
the box to enable as email address book is checked?

If this is grayed out...

Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories or
address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn't listed, add
it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed, then remove it and close
then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it.

Outlook 2003. Went away after I installed Avery (labels) and uninstalled
it
(also has an ASK.com component that was also uninstalled. Clicking TO CC
BCC
does not bring up the contacts, but clicking on Contacts in lower left
corner
(with Mail Contacts Tasks Notes) brings up all the contact info. I have
backups, but am clueless about what to do with them. Avery no help.
