MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / August 2007using outlook contacts for mailmerge source add field problem
I want to use more fields from Contacts file but Word 2007 keeps showing me the same subset I previously used. Start the merge from Outlook. See the "Mailmerge from Outlook" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at: http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm  SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP >I want to use more fields from Contacts file but Word 2007 keeps showing me > the same subset I previously used. That is a useful web site, thanks. The solution to my problem was to start a dummy label definition using keyed input with a dummy record. This reset Word's source so that the next time I selected Contacts it went there again and got the current fields. Incidentally, Word uses the fields in the View currently displayed in Outlook.

If you re-attach the data source from The Word end, it will start again with the full list of contacts. If you start from Outlook, you can use your prepared Word document to merge only the entries that you select in Outlook. However note that the field names are not all the same when starting from Outlook as they are when starting from Word.
