I am using my Outlook contacts file in a mail merge. I chose the address format as "Joshua and Cynthia Randall". However, the mail merge is not pulling in the spouses name. When I look at the field mappings, Spouse shows up as required but there is no field available to match it to. I've checked the contacts in Outlook and the Spouse field is indeed there and populated. Any idea how to get mail merge to recognise the Spouse field?

You need to start the merge from Outlook - see
