I have MS Word 2002.
Need to print address labels from catagories in MS Outlook.
Anyone know how to do this?
Many thanks.
You're going to want to use the Mail Merge - Labels feature, telling Word to
use a Contacts list from Outlook. However, category isn't one of the fields
that Word gets from Outlook when you use contacts.
So, before launching the mail merge in Word, set up a new Contacts folder,
into which you put the category of interest. If you have multiple categories
you want to use, but somehow distinguish, you'd need to create a separate
contact folder for each.
Once created, right-click each Contact folder, and choose Properties. In the
Outlook Address Book tab, click to enable "Show this folder as an email
address Book".
Once done, the category contact folders you set up will be selectable in
Word.
Alternatively... you could use one of the field that Word *does* take from
Outlook to store Category. I suspect, however, that doing this would be
rather tedious (unless you're skilled at VBA).

If you start the merge from Outlook rather than Word, the categories field
(in fact all the fields) can be made available.
See the link Doug posted.
