I use Woor and Outlook 2007. When I use "mailing"m tab to create an envelope, I click on the Icon that says insert address. When I click this Icon, I get the following error message:

"The address list cannot be displayed.The Contacts folder associated with this address list could not be opened; it may have been moved or deleted, or you do not have permissions. For information on how to remove this folder from the Outlook Address Book, see Microsoft Office Outlook Help".

I've tried the help in Word and Outlook and can't find the answer. Also searched "google" to find help, but no specific instructions.

Any suggestions?

I've never encountered this before either. It sounds like either (a) your Outlook contacts database is corrupted, or (b) perhaps there are some characters in your address field for that contact that Word/Outlook doesn't like. There is an Outlook repair tool out there (Google it). I had to use it myself a few years ago. Give that a try.
