Use Outlook Express Groups for labels?

Hello, please help! Can someone tell me how I can use the "Group" relationships from the Outlook Express address-book for choosing and printing address labels?

I’m sure some other programs out there can use similar groupings for selecting labels, but I would rather leave everything in Outlook Express and avoid keeping up with two separate contact listings. I have Outlook Express 6 and Word 97.

Someone showed me the "mailmerge" process in WORD, using an exported file from Outlook Express. But the export doesn’t include "Group" information, for some reason. He said I could re-enter the group name in one of the fields that get exported, but I think that would be easily messed up or left out, and what if a person belongs to multiple groups?

So can anyone tell me how the "Group" info can be extracted for selections like mailing labels, so it can be used by the WORD "mailmerge" function? Or at least, is there a 3rd party program that can read the address book from Outlook Express and use its group info for mailing and label selection? Thank you so much for any help!!!
