Word 2007 crashes when accessing contacts
Expected. Versions must match if you expect to integrate Outlook and Word.

Word 2007 crashes when accessing contacts
Actually, that's not true. Word 2002 worked well with Outlook 98 in my old
computer. Is there a fix for this or is Microsoft merely forcing me to upgrade to Word 2007? "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Expected.

Word 2007 crashes when accessing contacts
It has always been true for every version of Office. The only exception was
Outlook 98 which was actually a short-lived interim build released between Office versions. There is no fix. Sorry. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Seth Pearlman" wrote in message ...

"Always" and "exception" are mutually exclusive. This is nonsense. Enjoy your
paycheck, Russ. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: It has always been true for every version of Office.

Word 2007 crashes when accessing contacts
Reread my post. It is perfectly accurate. Outlook 98 was not part of an
Office release. To what paycheck are you referring? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Seth Pearlman" wrote in message ... "Always" and "exception" are mutually exclusive. This is nonsense.

Word 2007 crashes when accessing contacts
You are making a distinction between an Office release and a "short lived
interim build released between Office versions." A distinction without a real world difference to a consumer who is just trying to earn a living. It is a technical, "perfectly accurate" statement an attorney would make on the behalf of a guilty client. Word 2002 works very well on Vista. Outlook 2007 works very well on Vista. The Envelopes/Address Book is a universally used function in Word. For Microsoft not to make it compatible is ridiculous. It feels like they are trying to force an upgrade without actually saying so because consumers might balk at having to purchase new software when they are perfectly happy with what they have already. As for my "paycheck" reference, it sounds like you are making an excuse for Microsoft. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Reread my post. It is perfectly accurate.

Word 2007 crashes when accessing contacts
There is a huge difference between an interim build of one Office component
and a new version of the entire Office Suite. I am making excuses for no one. Every new Office version has required its component apps to be the same version to retain integration. It has nothing to do with trying to "force an upgrade." It has everything to do with keeping code compatible. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Seth Pearlman" wrote in message ...

Word 2007 crashes when accessing contacts
Re-read your email. You sound like the PC character on the old Apple
commercial. Ah yes, the integration factor of the component apps is paramount! The point is Microsoft could have made Word 2002 and Outlook 2007 compatible so that the Envelope address function was integrated. They chose not to and you would never know it until you tried to use the function since otherwise the program works well. If you think that is just about code compatibility and not money, you are being very naive. Whatever. If there's no fix, end of story.
