HOWTO: Mail Merge Select?
Hi...
First, running Word 2002. Also, use Outlook 2002 and decided to create CONTACTS as... friends/family we filled in the HOME ADDRESS (Business Address blank); non-friends/family we filled in BUSINESS ADDRESS (Home blank). In Word 2000, we used Mail Merge/Labels to print Christmas labels... and there was a (mail merge) step that allowed me to build a little "selection" routine... I was able to pick "Home Address", then "=", then "not blank". I can't find this capability in 2002 and it's highly annoying/time-consuming to scroll thru 1000+ contacts. NOTE: this "selection" capability was not strong but it had more choices than what I used! Anyone have any ideas on where this Mail Merge ended up? Hopefully, the weenies at M$ did NOT drop such a useful option... but... if they did... anyone have a SIMPLE WORD process to achieve my results? Thanks in advance Steve |

HOWTO: Mail Merge Select?
You will have a lot more choices/control, if you initiate the mailmerge from
Outlook. See the "Mailmerge from Outlook" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at: http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm -- 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 "Steve" wrote in message ... Hi... First, running Word 2002.

I would also refer you to the page on my web site that Doug indicated, but
note that you can use the MailingAddress field (from Outlook) or the PostalAddress field (from Word). As for the mechanics of a label merge - http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm will get you on track as before. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Steve wrote: Hi...
