Hey all,

I'm trying to use the 'Address Block' field (found in one
of thr steps of the mail merge wizard) to insert that
information quivkly, without having to manually put in
each field.  However, when I tell it to show me
additional fields (i.e. Job Title, Middle Initial, etc.)
from the 'Match Fields' button, they DON'T show when I
preview and/or complete the merge.  All I get is the
standrd information: Name, Company, etc.

This is very confusing becuase I don't see fields I've
clearly asked for in the 'Address Block'.  Any
suggesstions would be appreciated...

Thanks,
Joe

More haste - less speed :(

I take it that you are merging from Outlook. The variety of fields available
from Outlook is dependant on how you connect to Outlook. Start your merge
from Outlook Contacts > tools rather than Word - see
http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm.

I still think address block is more trouble than it's worth.
