I woul like to send some letters using MS Word and its function for merging
the addresses of Outlook Contacts.
When I choose Contacts as data source everything works well out of ........
.... the field "Name" in the select mask is empty, seaching for a name I
find the contact only in the field "show contact as", if I use "Contacts" to
put a single address in a letter (without the merge procedure) it works.
Someaone has a idea of what could be wrong?
Thank you
 
For best results, display your contacts folder in Outlook and use the Tools | Mail Merge command there to start the merge.

Don't choose them in Word. Choose them in Outlook. The filtering and grouping in Outlook is much better than that in Word anyway.
