How to get a "ghost" field of Outlook printed by Word merge
I would like to send some letters using MS Word and its function for merging the addresses of Outlook Contacts. When I choose Contacts as data source everything works well out of ......... .... the field "Name" in the select mask is empty, seaching for a name I find the contact only in the field "show contact as", if I use "Contacts" to put a single address in a letter (without the merge procedure) it works. Someaone has a idea of what could be wrong? I see that the current solving answer is "start merging from Outlook", but I would like to start from Word. Thank you for any help! -- dilettante -- dilettante |

How to get a "ghost" field of Outlook printed by Word merge
The suggestion to start the merge from Outlook is made because this
dramatically increases the power of the merge and is in fact one of the better features of Outlook. See http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm Once the data set has been selected the merge hands over to Word and the merge proceeds as any other. The old filter (if it has not been disabled by security patches) has a limited field set and lacks any of the powerful record selection facilities offered by the Outlook tool. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org dilettante wrote: I would like to send some letters using MS Word and its function for merging the addresses of Outlook Contacts.
