Can I add Job title to address block in a word mailmerge
Which version of Word and what is your data source?
Making some guesses... If you are using the Mail Merge Wizard in Word 2002/2003 to get your data from Outlook, you never see the Job Title. What you see is a field called Title which is the "Courtesy Title", e.g. "Mr.", "Dr.", etc. To see the Job Title field you have to initiate the merge by opening Outlook, opening your contacts folder, going to Outlook|Tools|Mail Merge and following the instructions. If you are already doing that, or you are using a different data source, then you have to click the "Match fields" button in the Address block setup dialog box, and specify which field in your data source you want to use as the Job Title.

Can I add Job title to address block in a word mailmerge
I am using the mailmerge in Word 2003 but my data source is Access. I have
tried to match fields but did still did not get the results. If I undersand you correctly, I cannot add the job title,ie CEO ABC Corporation, to the address block because there is no predefined location for it.

you correctly, I cannot add the job title,ie CEO ABC Corporation, to the
address block because there is no predefined location for it. As far as I know, you are correct, i.e. there is no way you can easily get the ADDRESSBLOCK field to show /both/ Job Title /and/ Company name at the same time. If Addressblock doesn't do what you need, in most cases you will probably be better off constructing what you need using individual MERGEFIELD fields and IF fields. If absolutely necessary, you can use Alt-F9 to view the content of the ADDRESSBLOCK field, then inset a second line that consists of a { MERGEFIELD yourjobtiltefieldname } field, where you use ctrl-F9 to insert the () surrounding the mergefield. The result of the mergefield will be inserted as text in your ADDRESSBLOCK. However, if you or your users edit the ADDRESSBLOCK field in any way, the { MERGEFIELD } field will probably be deleted or overwritten. Peter Jamieson "MKLeisure" wrote in message ...

Inserting job title in mail merge in Word 2003
I tried your solution but it does nothing for me. The address field remains the same as before without adding job title before the company.
Here's my example: {ADDRESSBLOCK \f "_TITLE0_ _FIRST0_ _LAST0_ _SUFFIX0_ {{MERGEFIELD "Position"}} _COMPANY_ _STREET1_ _STREET2_ _CITY_, _STATE_ _POSTAL_" \l 1033 \c 0 \e "United States" \d} I've tried insereting "merged field in various positions, but that hasn't helped. 2nd position: {ADDRESSBLOCK \f "_TITLE0_ _FIRST0_ _LAST0_ _SUFFIX0_ {{MERGEFIELD "Position"}} _COMPANY_ _STREET1_ _STREET2_ _CITY_, _STATE_ _POSTAL_" \l 1033 \c 0 \e "United States" \d} What am I doing wrong? |

Inserting job title in mail merge in Word 2003
Forget all about the addressblock field and insert the individual fields as
you require them. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Ahmad Khatri wrote: I tried your solution but it does nothing for me.
