many variables involved and you posted none of what we would need even

merge fields on your own to get the result you want. I would suggest you
try parsing name elements individually rather than trying to use derived

I am trying to print envelopes for christmas cards and cannot get "spouse"
field to show up on print. please help. I have selected the "name and
name
lastname" display choice in final step of envelope wizard.
To describe the process I have been using. I open new document in word 2003.
I select envelope wizard. After setting up envleope options I select
recipients. I select Outlook contacts as folder and select individual
addresses within that I wish to send to. The next step is to arrange
envelope. In this step, I click on the address block and check "insert
repipient's name in this format" and select the "Josh and Cynthia Randall"
format. I then deselect company name and hit OK.
This places "«AddressBlock»" on my envelope. I have right clicked to toggle
fields and attempted to change the fields within but have had no luck. When
I go to preview envelopes, I can never get the spouse name to appear.
That should be pretty explanatory for the specific steps I have taken. As I
said, I have searched and searched. I have tried to start in Outlook and go
on to Word with mail merge but for envelopes I always ultimately end up in
the steps described above, where spouse does not appear. When I toggle the
fields it shows: <<_NICK0_>><< and _FIRST1_>><< _LAST0_>>
I have searched for variables to insert here to get the first name of
individual, then and, then the spouse to appear, but nothing seems to work.
Thanks for all your help.

taken.
As I
said, I have searched and searched. I have tried to start in
Outlook
and go
on to Word with mail merge but for envelopes I always ultimately
end
up in
the steps described above, where spouse does not appear. When I
toggle the
fields it shows: <<_NICK0_>><< and _FIRST1_>><< _LAST0_>>
I have searched for variables to insert here to get the first name
of
individual, then and, then the spouse to appear, but nothing seems
to

Thanks for all your help.

Sorry if you thought I was being rude or condescending. I wasn't.
I
was
simply pointing out that problems with mail merges are nearly
impossible
to solve within the context of a Usenet post because there are far
too
many variables involved and you posted none of what we would need
even
to start. In the end you will still have to experiment with
different
merge fields on your own to get the result you want. I would
suggest
you
try parsing name elements individually rather than trying to use
derived
fields like "name" or "full name."

Russ Valentine said:Oh, give me a break. How can you expect anyone to provide help when you
first post incomplete information then follow up with misleading
information? In an earlier post you said you had already tried to start the
merge from Outlook and ended up with the same dialog and same result as when
you started it from Word. Now you tell us that in fact you never could do
the merge from Outlook because you have a corrupt installation. We were
somehow suppose to guess that? Did you not think that information might be
relevant?
All you need to do to obtain help is:
1. State clearly what you are trying to do in your specific version of
Outlook.
2. State clearly the precise steps you used and what the results were,
including any error messages.
You did neither of these things. We don't expect you to make the diagnosis.
But when you don't even provide the symptoms, how are we supposed to?
