Email merge and contacts folders with Word 2007
I have multiple subfolders within personal contacts of Outlook 2007. When I
attempt to doa mail merge, Word 2007 only recognizes one of those folders. This was nevre an issue with the 2003 version and I have been using that for years without issue. Now with Vista and 2007 (aside from swearing I should have gotten a MAC) I can't make the merge! I have tried to do the merge directly from the contacts folder I want to use, but when Word opens, the tool bar is inoperable. Clicking on ANY of the available buttons does NOTHING. Any suggestions of how to get the Merge wizard to recognize my other folders within contacts? Just as an additional complaint in the event that someone from Microsoft actually read this... What's up with wanting to charge $49 for this (presumably) simple information on a brand new product just purchased today for $229!?!?! Thanks in advance. |

Email merge and contacts folders with Word 2007
In order for mail merge to see contacts lists other than the default
contacts list, the contact list(s) property Outlook Address Book Show this folder as an e-mail address book must be checked. When starting the merge from Outlook, the property does not have to be checked, and the merge should work as it did before albeit the dialogs are different - see http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm and http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm If the link is introducing a fault condition then it is difficult to pin down what the problem might be. I would start with standard de-bugging procedures - see http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm then http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm. Then I would repair office. Then I would remove the Outlook Address Book (Outlook File Data File Management Address Books Outlook Address Book Change Remove) and then I would add it back in again to repair the link which is used from Word to insert Outlook data. This does not affect the contacts list(s). If that doesn't fix it, I would ask in an Outlook forum. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Arnalpix wrote: I have multiple subfolders within personal contacts of Outlook 2007.
