You find the data source very easilly - start in the Contacts folder,
highlight the Contacts you want to merge to and then Tools | Mailmerge |
select merge to email and then use the Insert Merge fields button in Word.
Word will fire up automatically.

 This is a good reason to have Contacts in a single folder - if you want to
merge to COntacts from 2 folders, you need to repeat the process from
scratch.
