I am struggling with mail merging the full name of my unmarried contacts
through to a word document.  I want to create a formal letter as follows...

"Mr A Smith & Mrs J Bloggs
1 Nowhere Place
Nowhere
NN9 9AA

28th March 2008

Dear Mr Smith & Mrs Bloggs"

But I am unsure how to complete the full name box in outlook contacts so
that for unmarried couples I can have their initlals in the address box and
no initials after Dear....

It needs to be broken down like...

Title:
First:
Middle:
Last:
Suffix:

Hope that makes sense, any Ideas?

Thankyou in advance
Sam

You would never use a derived field like "Full Name" for a mail merge. You
would use the individual name elements. The questions you are asking Word
functions, and they have a dedicated group for such questions.
