MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2008mail merge
Am attempting a mail merge (labels)…. But I fail at the MS WORD stage…. Says no record in selected view?? Not sure what my current selected view is or how to set it up. Can you help? TJ Not without at least some information. Provide versions, precise steps used (spare no detail--do not requires us to read your mind), what happens, and how you configured the Outlook Address Book for starters.

Not sure I understand outlook properly... ie what is a contact folder and what is an address book etc and what is the relationship between the two...? I can now generate my labels run from with MS Word. (there is an option to use outlook contact folders)... but I have two major contact folders 'family' and 'Friends' Can I merge the two in MS word mail merge... Hope this is not too vague Kind Regards TJ > Not without at least some information.

Once again, only you have the information you request, not we. If you have two Contact Folders, you can certainly combine them into one if that's what you want to do. You cannot merge to more than one Contacts Folder at a time when you do a merge from Word.

I used to create a label run at xmas from an MS WORKS database. Having gone to MS OFFICE i am trying to duplicate this using outlook and word. This should be better, since i won't have two files as vefore (viz a works database(for the labels) and an outlook express/windows address book (for e-mails)). I'm just having trouble using the new commands... Kind regards TJ > There is no address book in Outlook, only Contact Folders. Once again, only > you have the information you request, not we.
