i have Outlook 2003

I woud like to use outlook contacts as the data source for a mailmerge
however there is no field for salutation for a litter

e.g. name is Reginald Van Burne but letter salutation should be Dear Reggie

i tried adding a new field using view-current view-cusotomize and whlie it
seems to allow me to add a user-defined field which i called slauation - the
new field does not appear on the view of contacts and I can't figure out how
to enter data in the field or to display it

any suggestions?
