Default Address labels using both Domestic & Foreign addresses

Must I set up two different mailing lists if I am entering both foreign and
domestic addresses? One for Europe using different fields, for example, and
the standard version for the U.S.?
Thanks for any help.

No, there is no need to do that. Just define the fields that you need; a
single field can contain a different type of data for the different types of
data that you have, or it could be empty in one case and populated in
another.

You will however not want to use the Address Block in setting up your mail
merge main document. Rather, just insert the individual fields in the
configuration that you want them.

And if you use Outlook to store the addresses, the job becomes simpler
still - http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm
