Word 2007 mail merge goes to desktop when Outlook contacts chosen
When I try to do a mail merge in Word 2007 I choose start mail merge, then
the step by step wizard. When I get to the part of choosing recipients, I choose select from Outlook contacts except nothing happens. It Just brings me to my desktop. What is going wrong? |

Try starting the mailmerge from Outlook.
See the "Mailmerge from Outlook" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at: http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm That article was written before 2007, but it may still help -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "cmglaser" wrote in message ...

Word 2007 mail merge goes to desktop when Outlook contacts cho
Thank you for the help. I was able to do the mail merge starting from
Outlook, which was a big help however, what if I want to use a given template? For instance, have the contact info. merge directly into a fax template. Can I do that? Thanks again.

Hi ?B?Y21nbGFzZXI=?=,
Thank you for the help. I was able to do the mail merge starting from Outlook, which was a big help however, what if I want to use a given template? For instance, have the contact info. merge directly into a fax template. Can I do that? Read through that dialog box for Mail Merge in Outlook very carefully. The second section lets you choose an existing document as the starting point.

I do see where you can pick another document. The trouble is that my fax
template doesn't contain outlook contact merge fields and I don't know how to add them to the template (or do I have to do this each time I use the template). Maybe, I should back up a bit . . . I am a new user to Outlook w/ Business Contact Manager. I am evaluating it for our small company. We've been using ACT database software for 10 years and if you want to write a letter, fax, or email all you do is choose your customer and click write letter, write fax, etc (or choose a template) and it then opens Word with all the prefilled contact information. Is this something that can be done through Outlook w/ BCM? or is there an add-on product to do this with Outlook? I greatly appreciate any assistance.

Although written for Office 2003 - the principles shown at
http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm for incorporating Outlook data in documents should still apply. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org cmglaser wrote: I do see where you can pick another document.
