I want to create a check off list and rosters for parents of my brownie troop
using word from my contacts. Is there a way to do that? Help just returned
info on how to make mailing lists.
 
Isn't there a quicker way?? I have the look of what I want in the contacts
view. I just want to copy the very same thing over to word. Setting up a
merge file seems like a lot more work and time consuming. When I try to copy
the contact rows and paste into word I get a bunch of contact icons instead.

You can create any type of list you want with a mail merge. Outlook uses
Word for performing mail merge functions such as Form Letters, mailing
labels, envelopes, and fax or email merges. For an overview of these
functions take a look here:

Here's a follow on question to the whole merge thing... I am attempting to
do the merge and I am finding that merge wizard is not passing on the
category field or the children fields. Key fields for me in searching and
creating my checklist for my parents and co-leaders. Is there a way to get
the program to view all the fields in the field selector instead of just the
ones they they think I need (most of those I don't use at all.) Very
frustrating.
 
Don't try to use the query in Word to select your contacts, especially if you're doing it by category. Instead, either use the By Category view in Outlooik or create a custom filtered view that shows the contacts you want to use. In Outlook, select the contacts you want to merge, choose Tools | Mail Merge.
