Open Word, click on Tools, Address book mail merge, document type and choose envelopes, OK, Merge from the address book. On the window that comes up click on setup, choose the envelope size, and then insert all the merge fields that you want. Next click on merge and all your envelopes will come on the screen with the information that you merged. You can edit these if you want.

On your old computer open outlook express and click file, export and export the file to any media (thumb drive, floppy, cd, etc.) you can put in your new computer. Open outlook express on the new computer and click file, import and browse to the file you want to import.

something like this would do it... Right click properties and copy all the CC group address's. Open notepad and paste them into it. Hopefully they are already seperated by a comma, if not, make some comma's. Save as filename.txt to maybe your desktop. Open OE, Tools, Address Book, go to the Group you wan to import them to.. Click the file menu item and select 'Import', then select 'Other Address Book'. Select the 'Text File(comma seperated values)'

Just a quick update to anyone who may (or may not!) be interested in my original problem... After literally weeks of frustrating searches, futile attempts and dead-ends, I wiped Outlook Express from my computer and downloaded Thunderbird...it's a real gem! I did lose my old address book (but luckily I had a replica within Hotmail), but DID keep all sent/deleted/saved messages...can easily rebuild address book as people email me...messages to my old OE address still arrive at new Thunderbird one, so I'm a very happy chappy!
