Outlook Middle Name in Merge Fields
I'm not sure what I am supposed to do first.
I wrote a letter to be merged with some of my outlook contacts. I already copied those I needed into a new sub Contacts folder in Outlook. However, when I try to insert merge fields, the Middle Name is not on the list. I haven't done this in a year and I forgot what to do. How do I get all the outlook fields, or at least the fields in that particular view, which included middle name, to appear on the Insert Merge Field List? Alan |

Outlook Middle Name in Merge Fields
Versions are so important when asking questions. Perhaps this will help?

Outlook Middle Name in Merge Fields
Anne, I did that one on my own (to put Insert Merge Field on the Merge
Toolbar) BUT, when I hit Insert Merge Field, middle name doesn't show up, unless I missed it. On Mon, 17 Oct 2005 12:35:38 -0400, "Anne Troy" wrote: Versions are so important when asking questions.

Outlook Middle Name in Merge Fields
Start the merge 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 "alan" wrote in message ...

Outlook Middle Name in Merge Fields
It's there now. I don't know what happened but it wasn't there
before. Maybe when I tried to start the merge from Outlook, Outlook put it in. It didn't work when I selected the contact file from the Wizzard.

Outlook Middle Name in Merge Fields
Word uses a different subset of fields from Outlook when you start the merge
from Word. You get all the fileds if you start from Outlook - as described in the link to my web page that Doug posted. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org alan wrote: It's there now.
