Thank you ever-so-much, that is extreamly helpful, I didn't know their were
so many name fields and that you could add your own fields!!
All my mail merges are for couples most with different names and I am not
sure which fields I would input the names so that it looked okay on a letter
e.g. If I put...
Title: Mr & Mrs
First: A & J
Middle:
Last: Smith & Bloggs
Suffix:
it is represented as 'Mr & Mrs A & J Smith & Bloggs', which is obviously not
right!!
I want the address box it say 'Mr A Smith & Mrs J Bloggs' and I want the
Dear... to say 'Dear Mr Smith & Mrs Bloggs' (without the initials)
Do you know how I would put this into the fields so it comes out correct?
Any help is greatly received, I really can't get my head around this, it is
like a rubics cube!!
Thanks

In the Outlook Contacts module, click on the Full Name button and you will
get a dialog containing the following fields:
Title:
First:
Middle:
Last:
Suffix:
Or, if you click on the All Fields button and the select Name fields from
the Select from pulldown, you will get access to the following fields:
Assistant's Name
Children
File As
First Name
Full Name
Initials
Job Title
Last Name
Manager's Name
Middle Name
Nickname
Referred By
Spouse/Partner
Suffix
Title
and, in this dialog, if you click on the New button, you can define your own
field.
To get access to all of these fields when using mail merge, you should
initiate the merge from Outlook.

I am struggling with mail merging the full name of my unmarried contacts
through to a word document. I want to create a formal letter as
follows...
"Mr A Smith & Mrs J Bloggs
1 Nowhere Place
Nowhere
NN9 9AA
28th March 2008
Dear Mr Smith & Mrs Bloggs"
But I am unsure how to complete the full name box in outlook contacts so
that for unmarried couples I can have their initlals in the address box
and
no initials after Dear....
It needs to be broken down like...
Title:
First:
Middle:
Last:
Suffix:
Hope that makes sense, any Ideas?
Thankyou in advance
Sam
