and selected either a new document, or a previous document i have saved, it

Hello,

i have set up my contacts, with some user-defined fields, and am wanting
to
mail merge that data... but when selecting merge fields in a word
document, i
cant see my user-defined fields. can i do this? or do i need to use fields
that are already built into outlook?

im using outlook 2003
