Word wont 'select addresses form an Outlook contacts folder' ?
Did you enable those folders as email address books in their properties?
-- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "akm" wrote in message ... Russ Thanks for the reply !

Word wont 'select addresses form an Outlook contacts folder' ?
Thanks, Russ.
Sorry, guess that should have been my question... ie, do I need to go to each folder and set up for use for mail merge (have got about 20 or them) ? And, looks like the answer is YES. Really appreciate your followup ! Have a good one ! -- Thanks again for your help. akm (XPpro,SP-2,IE-7,Office2003) "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Did you enable those folders as email address books in their properties? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "akm" wrote in message ...

Word wont 'select addresses form an Outlook contacts folder' ?
For any subfolder to appear in the address book view, it must be enabled as
an "email address book," so you must enable each one. Which begs the question, is having so many subfolders the best way to organize your Contacts? If so, fine, but it may not be. There are some drawbacks to doing so. I'd look this over to see if there might be better ways to group your contacts, like categories, for example. http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/oloabcat.htm -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "akm" wrote in message ...

Word wont 'select addresses form an Outlook contacts folder' ?
Russ
Thanks for the suggestion ! Will look at 'categories'. Was thinking of using folders to keep track of mailings done and those yet to do. Maybe need to enter date/s in some contact field/s for that type of tracking process, ie for multiple mailings for different contacts at different times ? Can see where folders could get complicated for that process. Thoughts ? -- Thanks again for your help. akm (XPpro,SP-2,IE-7,Office2003) "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: For any subfolder to appear in the address book view, it must be enabled as an "email address book," so you must enable each one.

Another option is to start the merge from Outlook, not Word, in the folder
from which you want to create the envelopes. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "akm" wrote: Thanks, Russ.
