Using Office 2003, I can't choose to mail merge the checked "mailing address"
from my Outlook contacts. Since the "mailing address" doesn't show up as an
option when I do a mail merge in Word, what good is it?

If you merge from Word the field is Postal_Address
If you merge from Outlook http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm
the field is Mailing_address.
Don't blame the tools - blame the pilot.

God forbid the pilot should expect a little
consistency in the tools . . .
