How do you start the merge from the Outlook contacts folder itself? Do
you
type all the contact info into the existing database (which is already
plentiful)? Then go thru the whole database to select those for whom you
want a label made? Then save it somehow (but, how?). Then start the merge
from where: Word? I am sorry I only need to create labels for two or
three
different groups and I'm stuck.
Many thanks,
Thrival

AFAIK, mail merge will only use the default Outlook Data file in your
profile as its data source. If you really need to, you could set up a
separate Outlook profile for your merges.
It's hard to understand why you think you need to.

Russ: that is what I want to do, set up a whole new Outlook database
file.
How does it complicate the merge process?
:
Separate Contacts Folders should suffice.
You can also create an entirely separate Outlook Data File, but I see
no
need to do so and it would complicate the merge procedure.

Thanks, Russ: My need to is to create a totally separate contacts
database
within Outlook. Any idea how to do that?
:
There have always been 2 ways to do this:
1. Make use of Categories
2. Separate Contact subfolders

I need a separate database in Outlook to print mailing address
labels
to.
Such as a separate mailing list for promotional material and a
separate
mailing list for public relations mailings. This needs to be
separate
from
the overall Outlook database I now have......which is already
full
of
names.
Help,
