Mail Merge
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?) . |

Why should it be changed to CELL - Mobile Phone is a perfectly adequate description? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Realtor Tim wrote: How do I add "home phone" to the insert merge field?

I can live with mobile, just like I can live with "CC" which I originally
understood to mean "Carbon Copy". My children don't know what carbon paper is. I live in a skewed world. My desktop is office 2002, and my laptop is 2003. The images on your document appear to be from 2003. In 2002 can I get to the home phone field? Or do I need to get to 2003? I never have been clear on the licensing issues. Can I install my 2003 on both my desktop and my laptop? I only use one at a time.

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.

You can install Office 2003 on both your machines if it is a retail copy.
OEM versions are licensed only for the PC on which it is installed. The images on my web site have been updated to Office 2003, but I recall that the changes are few and you get all the fields including user fields if you merge from Outlook rather than Word. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Realtor Tim wrote: I can live with mobile, just like I can live with "CC" which I originally understood to mean "Carbon Copy".

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? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Realtor Tim wrote: I got it to work in 2002 by attacking from within Outlook rather than Word.
