If you are using Outlook as the data source, start the mailmerge from Outlook rather than from Word as you will then have far more control over the fields that you can use.

However, some of us are very inexperienced in all of this and the detailed instructions sent by Krista worked best. Now that I know how this whole communication thing works, if I need more in depth info I now can email to ask for that. Thank you again. > Don't bother with the address block, just insert the fields that you want in > the configuration that you want.

And if I do what others recommend - stop using address block and inserting individual fields, "job title" still doesn't appear in the resulting merged document(s). > I'm using mail merge wizard in Word 2003.

But it will if you start the merge from OUTLOOK's tools/mail merge menu.

I found that following Krista's information worked perfectly for me. And I didn't use Outlook I used the information I put in within the mail merge program. > I have exactly the same problem Jeanne.

Try going to "Tools" and under "letters and mailings" click on "view mail merge tool bar." Then, where you would normally insert the address block, click in the document, then click on the "insert merge fields" button _on the mail merge toolbar__. When this brings up a window, make sure to select "address fields" instead of "database fields" at the top. Then select the first field used in your address block and click insert. Then move the pointer in the document to where you want the second field and repeat the process, continuing until you've created a customized address block. When doing labels, I then had to click on "update all labels." When you have finished, make sure to click on "Merge to new document" in the tool bar. > I'm using mail merge wizard in Word 2003.
