Outlook BCM and Word mail merge

B

Brandon Cox

Using Outlook to create a mail merge campaign you have far greater
capabilities to filter recipients. For example you can filter them by
category or user defined fields. However you cannot use merge fields in your
document like first name, last name, birthday.

Using Word to create a mail merge campaign your filter options are reduced
to a handful of contact fields like address and such. You can use merge
fields in your document though.

Why not give Outlook the ability to use merge fields in the documents?
