Setting up Outlook Contact so that they can be used to mail merge
I would like to setup my contacts in Outlook to use with mail merge for
labels in a family label format instead of individual names. EX John and Jane Smith or Mr. and Mrs. John and Jane Smith. Is there a way to get two seperate contacts that are husband and wife to have a common family label. I though of setting up a user defined field with the family label in it. Then just setting up a group list with only one of the spouses from each family in it and using that user defined field as the merge field. Any easier ideas? |

That would depend entirely on how you populated your name fields in Outlook,
which we have no way of knowing. You must decide how you want to do your merge, then make sure you populate your name fields so you can construct your merge accordingly. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Terry Clark" wrote in message ...

You can use one of the fields that you are not using for anything else to
hold this information e.g. NickName Then with use Word and Outlook to carry out the eMail Merge or use something like eMailMerge 4Outlook: http://www.addins4outlook.com/emailmerge/default.asp -- Regards Sanjay Singh --------------------------------------------- Gain Time by Making Outlook do the Work http://www.Addins4Outlook.Com --------------------------------------------- The Complete E-mail Filing Solution http://www.Outlook4Lawyers.com --------------------------------------------- "Terry Clark" wrote in message ...
