Default Mail Merge

When you start the merge from Outlook in Office 2007 you are restricted to
Outlook fields. We have no idea what you mean by "form," but you are asking
a Word question. The Word MVP's will be able to help you in their mail merge
group.

word that i have filled with information i send to my clients. On that
document i have save the fields that i use like i add address field and first
