Does anybody know how to filter data in the
comments/memo/whatever-it's-called field in Outlook contact data
during a mail merge (creating labels)? The problem I'm finding is
that this field doesn't seem to have a name. I'm talking about the
big "whiteboard" box that you can copy & paste all sorts of various
stuff into.
I can find records that contain certain data in that field by doing a
simple "Find" in Outlook but if I try to do a mail merge from Word I
don't seem to be able to filter by data in that field. I don't see it
in the list of fields and it doesn't appear to have a name in the
contact details screen.
What I like to do is put a simple code like 20070912-promo001 in that
field so that I A) have a way of creating a label to send a certain
promotion to that person on a certain date, and B) always have a
record in their contact data showing which promos I have sent them
and when. I am trying to see if there is a way to do this from Word
rather than initiating the merge from Outlook.
Thanks for any info,
