Default How to get back the data of field "Name" merging contacts with MS

Starting from MS Word, as suggested to me, I get in the merged letter all the
data of contacts out of the nemase containend in the field "Names".
Also in the choice menu where I can select the ones I want merge they do not
appear.
The option of inserting a single address, it works.
Thank you for helping

If you want unfettered access to Outlook's fields, start the merge from
Outlook.

Of course you can.
Start in the Contacts Folder, select the Contacts, then start the merge to
"only selected Contacts."

Ok, thank you: I see I have to learn to read better the given options!
Should you one day have a idea about the rason why the field "Name" doesn't
give out its names starting from Word, please let me know.
Thank you again

This is just another example of the fact that integration between Outlook
and Word is not nearly as robust as it should or could be. This one has been
well known and documented for years:
