I have set up user fields in my Contacts folder; however,
when doing mail merges - those user fields are not
recognized by MS-Word or Publisher.

Any help on how to get those fields recognized or even
exportable into Excel or Access and then to a mail merge?

Any help is really appreciated.

They will be recognized in a Word mail merge if you defined the field in the
folder and start the merge from Outlook, not Word.
