You would never use the Address Block to construct a merge. When you do, you
give up all control over the merge. Use individual fields to construct a
merge.

I used a traditional merge, utilizing the Address Block function in Word
(also 2003). The name is entered in Outlook as Full Name - Ginger Van der
Hooten - and the Display is Van der Hooten, Ginger.

I don't know what other information you might need to answer my question.
Perhaps it would be better addressed in the Word/Merge group.

No way to answer. There is no information here. You would want to post
precise details on how you constructed your merge in Word's mail merge
group.

(Outlook 2003) I have a client whose last name is in three parts,
non-hyphenated (like Ginger Van der Hooven). It shows up correctly in
Contacts under V, but when I utilize Outlook for a mail merge, it drops
the
first part of the last name (she becomes Ginger der Hooven,
alphabetized
under D). Any ideas for a permanent fix?
