Separation in Last Name
(Outlook 2003) I have a client whose last name is in three parts,
non-hyphenated (like Ginger Van der Hooven). It shows up correctly in Contacts under V, but when I utilize Outlook for a mail merge, it drops the first part of the last name (she becomes Ginger der Hooven, alphabetized under D). Any ideas for a permanent fix? |

Separation in Last Name
No way to answer. There is no information here. You would want to post
precise details on how you constructed your merge in Word's mail merge group. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Helen" wrote in message ...

Separation in Last Name
I used a traditional merge, utilizing the Address Block function in Word
(also 2003). The name is entered in Outlook as Full Name - Ginger Van der Hooten - and the Display is Van der Hooten, Ginger. I don't know what other information you might need to answer my question. Perhaps it would be better addressed in the Word/Merge group. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: No way to answer. There is no information here.

You would never use the Address Block to construct a merge. When you do, you
give up all control over the merge. Use individual fields to construct a merge. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Helen" wrote in message ...

Separation in Last Name
THANK YOU! I discovered the first part of the last name had deposited itself
in Middle. I've now moved it to be part of Last and all is resolved.
