Start the merge from your Contacts folder, using the Tools | Mail Merge command. The fields need to be defined at the folder level -- check on the folder's Field Chooser.

I have created a new Contact form with a number of custom fields, however
when I try and merge into a word doc, the "insert field" does not contain any
of my custom fields therefore I cannot export the data out of my Contact
records. Any ideas
