Yes, both Word and Outlook are 2003.
This is getting more and more confusing -- Is there some where that will
show you, step by step, how to set this up?
I have had data windows open with nothing in them, windows that say data
will be moved to some where else and not retained. Word opens with several
pages of meaningless fields, and on top of this, people do not answer all
questions asked.

The contact data file is the file used to save the subset of the records you
wish to merge. Otherwise the function creates a temporary file for the
purpose of this merge..
I take it that you have both Word *and* Outlook 2003?

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.
Thanks
