I am mail merging my outlook data file with a word document but a catagory
from outlook is not appearing on this data list.

The catagory, "Catagory", in Outlook does not come up.

Several Outlook fields do not appear when you use the Mail Merge Wizard (or
the old Mail Merge Helper) to retrieve Outlook data. As long as you are
using Word/Outlook 2000 or later you should be able to initiate your merge
from Outlook (select the contacts you want in Outlook, then use Outlook
Tools|Mail Merge) and you will see the "Categories" field. If you want to
filter your data using categories, you will probably find it much eassier to
do that in Outlook as well.
