Could you clarify what you mean by "The fields need to be defined at the
folder level -- check on the folder's Field Chooser". I cannot find any
option to "define the fields" nor "check on the folders filed chooser". When
I begin the merge my options are Database Fields and Address Fields, non of
which inlcude my custom merge fields even when checking the "All Contact
Fields" or "Contact Fields in current view"

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
