Default Mail Merge

Actually I find this a tad puzzling as I checked the old Outlook filter from
Word and it does offer the HOME_PHONE field also HOME_PHONE_2 and HOME_FAX
as well as your favourite MOBILE_PHONE

Maybe the implementation in Office 2002 was not as complete?

I got it to work in 2002 by attacking from within Outlook rather than
Word. Between your fine help page and following all of the linked
pages (I think I read thru 4 or 5 of them) I was able to see the
light. Thank you. It wasn't easy, and it wasn't fun, but it was
worthwhile. In 2002 word, I still can not see home_phone as an option
to add in the insert field drop downs. However as i have it displayed
in my current view of Outlook in contacts, when I do mail merge from
within outlook, behold, the home phone comes across.

Why should it be changed to CELL - Mobile Phone is a perfectly
adequate description?

How do I add "home phone" to the insert merge field? ( I am
creating a directory and am at the 'More Items" prompt in the
wizard. I see home 2 phone, but not home phone. I am able to add
the mobile phone (when will they change that moniker to CELL?) .
