Yes. Just do the merge to "Only Selected Contacts"
There is a radio button to let you select that.

Dear Folks,

I've used the mail merge feature in Outlook 2003 several times. I find
the
selection process a bit cumbersome.

Rather than selecting records from all my contacts, is it possible, for
instance, to start by selecting all the contacts in a category and using
that as the basis for the mail merge?

thanks
