Using Office 2003. I have all my Outlook contacts in Categories (i.e.
Christmas Cards). When I go to Word to do a mail merge, I don't have
the option of filtering by Categories. I have to export all
contacts, sort by Categories, then delete all I don't want. It would
be easier if Word gave the the option of selecting which Categories I
want to include in a mail merge.
