MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / August 2006An Field of Contacts not usable with MS Word merge
I woul like to send some letters using MS Word and its function for merging the addresses of Outlook Contacts. When I choose Contacts as data source everything works well out of ........ ... the field "Name" in the select mask is empty, seaching for a name I find the contact only in the field "show contact as", if I use "Contacts" to put a single address in a letter (without the merge procedure) it works. Someaone has a idea of what could be wrong? Thank you  Signaturedilettante For best results, display your contacts folder in Outlook and use the Tools | Mail Merge command there to start the merge.

The filtering and grouping in Outlook is much better than that in Word anyway.
