Technical Issue: Can not get to my Outlook Contacts from Microsoft Word

 

ProWrite uses the Microsoft CDO.DLL to allow users to access the Outlook contacts from Microsoft Word.  The CDO.DLL is not installed by default when you install Office or Outlook.   During the installation of Microsoft Office or Outlook select custom and add the Collaboration Data Object.  You can also add this component to an existing install by selecting Modify or Add.

Therefore, if you are using ProWrite to access the Outlook address book from Microsoft Word or Corel WordPerfect, please print this page and follow the instructions below: 

1.  Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel
2.  Select Add/Remove Programs
3. Find & highlight Microsoft Office 2000, XP or 2003, then click Change or Add/Remove

6.  Extend the Microsoft Outlook for Windows directory by clicking the + sign to the left, select Collaboration Data Objects and choose Run from My Computer.

7.  Choose Update Now >
