your query optionsWhile using the mail merge wizard for the first time I have
come across a problem that I need help with. During step four where you
write your letter, there is a link for the address block. This link asks to
specify the address elements (recipient's name, insert company name, etc.).
When I clicked on the match fields button, a vast majority of the information
came up as not available.

When I continued through the wizard, the finished product came with a
Microsoft Word notice:

"Word could not merge the main document with the data source because the
data records were empty or no data records matched your query options."

After going back to step four and the match fields button, all of the
required information, minus the last name, was (not available).

When I downarrowed the address the only things available we icon, has
attachments, last, display name and not available. There is nothing that
would lead to an address.

How do I obtain the required information/set up my Outlook contacts to
diplay this information?

See response to your later post.
