With the document open in Word, change the type of document from a label
type mail merge main document to a Normal Word Document to disassociate it
from the Data Source. Then change it back to a label type main document and
then Save it as a template.

Then the next time you start the merge from Outlook, select that template as
the basis for the merge.

Thanks - the start from Outlook worked.

Next question. I saved the word doc with the selected merge fields for
future use. When I opened it, it ran the SQL command from the first data
selection, not the current one. How do I use a saved word document as the
template for the outlook initiated merge?

Outlook 2007 SP2 (exchange client)

When using the wizard to build mailing labels, I "Select from Outlook
contacts" - Choose Contacts folder

My contacts folder list appears (for those folders checked in Outlook
Address Book - Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book).

Issue:
The location is the mailbox not contacts. When I select a folder, my
mail merge receipients are not the contact in the selected fodler but
eMail items, e.g. subject, from, to, contents, et.al.

How do I get the contact data pointed to not a mailbox?
