When you start the merge from Outlook in Office 2007 you are restricted to
Outlook fields. We have no idea what you mean by "form," but you are asking
a Word question. The Word MVP's will be able to help you in their mail merge
group.

I thank you for your response.
the problem i have is when i use outlook to do mali merge with a document in
word that i have filled with information i send to my clients. On that
document i have save the fields that i use like i add address field and first
and last name field the problem i have is when i try to reuse the word
document with a new client database pull direct from outlook in mail merge
the fields dont match anymore it show two times the city, just one name, etc
everytime i use that document i have to match the fields again and again. is
any way to save the match fields to math everytime i reuse the document.
