Hi all,

I'm trying to do a mail merge in word 2003 (office 2003).
My address book is in Access and when I merge, the format
it comes up with is

company name
persons name
Address

It seems to be the default format for word 2003.

Is there a way I can change the above so that it's in the
format

persons name
company
address

Instead of altering the Access DB.

Word XP works perfectly. Please assist.

Send reply to slade@daltron.com.pg

Thanks in advance.

Ernst

Rather than using the Address Block, insert the individual fields in the
configuration that you want them to appear.

I agree entirely with Doug's suggestion - see if

sense of it.
