I am running Windows 7 (64-bit), and Office Pro (Academic) 2010 32-bit. I am experiencing the same crashes as reported a while back in this Forum (https://www.msofficeforums.com/outlo...l-merge.html): From Word 2010 , select a mail recipient, Select from Outlook Contacts... . and then Word crashes. Sometimes I can select the only available Contacts list before the creash occurs. I have tried repairing office and the listed solution to that user's problem (http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk/t0002.htm), but I still experience the crashes. I have also tried to repair the Outlook .pst file to no avail. It now crashes practically every time. I was wondering if there were any other suggestions that I might try to resolve thsi issue. (I can successfully select from an Excel file to mail merge).
