MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / November 2005HOWTO: Mail Merge Select?
Hi... First, running Word 2002. Also, use Outlook 2002 and decided to create CONTACTS as... friends/family we filled in the HOME ADDRESS (Business Address blank); non-friends/family we filled in BUSINESS ADDRESS (Home blank). In Word 2000, we used Mail Merge/Labels to print Christmas labels... and there was a (mail merge) step that allowed me to build a little "selection" routine... I was able to pick "Home Address", then "=", then "not blank". I can't find this capability in 2002 and it's highly annoying/time-consuming to scroll thru 1000+ contacts. NOTE: this "selection" capability was not strong but it had more choices than what I used! Anyone have any ideas on where this Mail Merge ended up? Hopefully, the weenies at M$ did NOT drop such a useful option... but... if they did... anyone have a SIMPLE WORD process to achieve my results? Thanks in advance Steve You will have a lot more choices/control, if you initiate the mailmerge from Outlook. See the "Mailmerge from Outlook" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at: http://www.gmayor.com/mailmerge_from_outlook.htm  SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

As for the mechanics of a label merge - http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm will get you on track as before.
