BCM & Generating Mailing Labels

I want to generate mailing labels for a subset of my contacts in BCM.  I
want to be able to track the fact that a given contact was the recipient of
the (hard copy, snail mail) mailing I'm doing.

My initial thought was to create a Category called 012004Mailing, and then
put whatever contacts I wanted to mail to into that Category.  Then
(hopefully) using Word and Mail Merge, I could print labels for all contacts
in that Category.  If its possible to do that scenario I'm not getting it.
When I get mired in the depths of the Mail Merge wizards I can't seem to
find the ability to filter out (or grab) contacts that only fall into a
particular category.

Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to do what I'm trying to
do?  I'm figuring between Outlook, BCM and Word there are probably about
23,598 ways I can do what I'm trying to do.  But any guidance would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Try this method:

In Outlook, select the contacts you want to merge to. (Grouping or filtering
by category will be helpful.) Then start the merge from Outlook with the
Tools | Mail Merge command.
