How to set up Outlook Contacts for mail merge
I've exported my outlook contacts to a file on my desktop to use for
mail merge, and when I try to set up a new profile in Word (during the mail merge wizard), I keep getting this message: Unable to obtain list of tables from the data source. How do I set my Outlook Contacts as the source for mail merge to pull files from. I'm so frustrated with this program! BTW, is outlook Contacts stored as "outlook.pst" ? Thanks for any help. Gonna walk away for a while now and cool off. Brandy |

How to set up Outlook Contacts for mail merge
Did you take a look at See http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm
to which Graham Mayor pointed you. You start Outlook and do it from there. In response to your BTW question, the Outlook.pst file may contain your contacts, but as well as that, it contains all of the messages that you have in Outlook -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "gnGracie" wrote in message ups.com...
