When I try to use my contacts from outlook in a mail merge in word, the
categories do not show up as an option. Any ideas?
 
Hi Kevin,
Best bet is to export your contacts to Excel or Access. Make sure you use
cusotm mapping so you can change to "defaut" (otherwise categories don't
show) THen use this as your data source for mail merge. Will this help?
 
Actually, the best bet is simply to start the merge from Outlook. You can
sort the Contacts by Category, then just merge to the Contacts you select in
that view.
You cannot filter a merge by category when you start from Word.
