| | Mail Merge with Contact Groups in Address Book I am having problems doing a mail merge (in MS Word) using my contact groups in Windows Address Book. Is this possible? Here's what I've tried so far: MS WORD : MAILINGS : MAIL MERGE : SELECT RECIPIENTS : USE EXISTING LIST. At this point, I can't find the address book. Any help would be appreciated. (By the way, I do not have OUTLOOK.) -- Have a nice day! |

| | Re: Mail Merge with Contact Groups in Address Book According to my Outlook 2003 help, Word can use Outlook contacts, an Excel worksheet, or text files for the data. So you can export the Windows Mail contacts into a CSV file, which you should be able to use. Here is a tutorial.. http://office.microsoft.com/training...RC011205671033 "gigibug7" <gigibug7@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:836A2136-9471-4CFE-9EA0-0FBDBE242F90@xxxxxx Quote: > I am having problems doing a mail merge (in MS Word) using my contact > groups > in Windows Address Book.

| | Re: Mail Merge with Contact Groups in Address Book I appreciate the the quick response. I tried your suggestion of exporting my contacts to a CSV file (thanks!), which worked fine, but I was only able to do this for all my contacts, not specific groups. Here's the issue...I'm wanting to print address labels for Christmas cards from a Friends & Family contact group. I could export all my contacts, then delete the ones I don't want, but to me, this is a waste of time and defeats the purpose of me having those people in a designated group. Doesn't this seem like a common task for us home users?? For more information, I'm using Vista, Windows Mail, and MS Office 2007 (without Outlook)...and I hate not being able to figure this stuff out on my own!  -- Have a nice day!
