mail merge data source
No, It defaults to the "data link properties" dialogue
box.When I choose "edit contact list" it seems to recognize it appropriately. But, it inserts "address block" or whichever information you choose instaed of the actual name and address. I wish it to insert the actual information instead of the title to the information. Thanks RC My contact files are personal files. -----Original Message----- is outlook set as your default email program?
