I have an established contact list with individual names of contacts.

I want to create address labels (for Christmas card lists) usually addressed
to two people (husband and wife). How do I do this especially when the have
different last names.

Thanks,
 
Just use a mail merge and construct the merge fields to fit your needs.
 
Russ, Can you be more specific as to how to set up the addresses? Do I
need to have a contact name for each of the spouses and then merge these
somehow? Sometimes the couple have the same last names and sometimes not. I
am not familiar with the capabilities of merging but do understand the
general concept.

Thanks,

Shaun

You're going to have to figure out how to store name elements for yourself
to accommodate the needs you anticipate for names. There is plenty of
information out there on how to do mail merges.
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:
