O/K........I click on Mail Merge from the Outlook Contacts view.
This opens a window "Mail Merge Contacts".
In the centre of this window we have "Document File" -- New document or
Existing document.
What is the meaning of this? Am I suppost to create a file containing ALL
accounts in Outlook Contacts or only those that I want to merge. Where do I
keep this file?
I have been experimenting and when Word takes over I have come up against a
window that said something like Word cannot open this Data file.
I also have my own envelope, when I inport it, the merge toolbar greys out.
Shoud I be printing these separatly then putting them back through to address
them?

I am using Word 2003 to Mail Merge Outlook folders ( Contacts or
Business A/c's) to envelopes.
When I get to the "Mail Merge Recipients" window, is there any way of
editing the recipients apart from unckecking the box on their row?
Also, can the columns be change to hold different info?
I am just starting into this venture and antisipate 2000 + addresses
eventually.
Mail Merges antisipated a- Country, country and state, post code or
geographic region, and Business categoriety.
I have removed updates for the period 12-13.04.06 without any
noticable change.
