Print labels by Catagory in Outlook 2003
My wife needs to print X-Mas mailing labels. She has assigned the proper
Outlook contacts to the Catagory 'Christmas'. When I do the Word mail merge, there is no sort column for Catagories. You can sort by Name, Zip Code, and even User Field 1, but there is not Catagory column. I can create perfect labels - no issues - but I cannot sort by Catagory. I am using Outlook 2003 and Word 2002 SP3. Thank you very much.

Start the merge from Outlook. There you can sort Contacts by Category, then
perform the merge to the selected Contacts. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Lippy Pantaloons" wrote in message ... My wife needs to print X-Mas mailing labels.

Print labels by Catagory in Outlook 2003
Thank you for getting back so fast.
OK - I have no idea how to merge to the selected Contacts. All the Help files tell you to do a label printable mail merge by opening Word, using the Merge Wizard, and importing from Contacts. How do I sort by Catagory and then export them to something I can print? Please, talk to me like I am an idiot who needs a little step by step  Thanks again.

Do what I said instead. Start the merge from your Outlook Contacts Folder in
the By Category view. Detailed Instructions: Tools Mail Merge... Follow the prompts. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Lippy Pantaloons" wrote in message ... Thank you for getting back so fast.

Print labels by Catagory in Outlook 2003
Hi there,
I followed the below instructions: Changed my view to show only contacts in my Christmas Card category, then started mail merge from Outlook. I went through all the steps and it moved over to Word. When I got into word I followed the promts in the box that popped up, but when it was all finished, there was nothing in the labels; they were all empty. For the life of me I can't figure out why.

Neither can we. Try filling in the blanks. What prompts you followed and
what happenend thereafter are known only to you, and we cannot read minds. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Dee" wrote in message ...
