MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2005Why will one of my contact lists not pull up names for mail merge.
I have 4 contact lists in Outlook 2003. Three pull up fine doing a mail merge. One pulls up blank spaces. Why can't I get that one to do a mail merge? Pulls up blank spaces where? In case you didn't know, you'll get best results if you start the merge from Outlook.

In the screen that comes up listing names from which you can check or un-check names which selects which are merged into a letter - like: Dear <<name>>,. I don't know how to start a letter merge from Outlook. But thanks. Bill > Pulls up blank spaces where? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > merge. One pulls up blank spaces.

To start the merge from Outlook, select the names you want to merge, then choose Tools | Mail Merge, answer the questions on the dialog and take it from there. I think you'll find it a much more reliable procedure.
