MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / November 2004mail merge from Outlook Contacts to Labels
I have gotten this to work ok with one (serious) problem. Outlook is not sending to Word the Contact address marked "use this as mailing address". The result is some labels with a name but no address. All of these are records that have only 1 address, but sometimes it's business, sometimes it's home. And what's even weirder, some of these labels are from records that have only 1 *business *address (no home), and yet other labels are from record that have only 1 *home* address (and no business address in the record)! Hope someone can help. Windows XP sp2 Outlook Prof 2003 SP1 Word 2003 SP 1 Susan If you initiate the mailmerge from Outlook you will have more control. However, if the address details are not in the same field for all of the records, then you may also need to use an If..then..Else fields. If however, there is only ever one address, putting both of the address mergefields side by side with no space in between them might do.

There are still some problems that I think are bugs, but I was able to work around them. Susan If you initiate the mailmerge from Outlook you will have more control.
