You method is the best if there is no option to filter by category.

Hi,
I don't know if this a publisher or an OL?.

I want to be able to merge to a category of OL. When I am in a Publisher
File that I want to do a mail merge, I go through the wizard which is
great, then when I choose the contacts folder, I get the Mail Merge
Recipients Window. At that point categories are not an option to filter.
Is it possible to add categories as an option to the Mail Merge Recipients
Window?

The way I do it now is to keep an empty contact folder and copy the
category over and then merge that folder.

I posted both.

Thanks Rob A
