Yeh I know - but it's the only part solution I could see for the OP! He can
still have 2 Contacts, but just use one of them for the merge.

That was the idea OP already dismissed: including both names on the same
form.

This idea may work -

add the spouse's name to the men's Contacts forms, then mailmerge and use
the fields this way:

Hi First and Spouse name

You'll need to select only the guys when you merge. Leave out last name
as they may have different ones!

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

No other ideas. Obviously, you cannot construct a merge that uses data
from two separate Contacts in the same merge field layout.

Yes, thanks. However, the form doesn't accomodate email addresses,
wrok,
cell, and fax numbers for each of those individuals. Thus, I must
create
separate records for each.

Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I create separate contact entries for every individual (ie both my
Mom and
Dad). This allows me to enter separate birthays, email addresses,
cell
phone
and work numbers, etc.

BUT - when I perform a mail merge, I get TWO letters. My desired
result
is
to have the merge say "John and Jane Doe" and to still have all of
the
info
on both contacts. I wonder if linking can help with this?

Help!
