All contacts in the main Contact folder in Outlook have
categories applied. I only want to use contacts with a
specific category, for instance, Business, as a data
source in a Word Mail Merge.
I can filter for Business category in Outlook just fine.
I can get the all contacts, regardless of category, to
work with Word mail merge.
But the problem is I can't find the category field to
filter on.
The user I am helping doesn't want to have contact sub
folders, i.e.: Business.
Any suggestions? Thanks ahead of time.

Start the merge from Outlook - you'll then have access to all the fields.
(Tools > mail merge)
