Merge Problem

Greg McBride

I am trying to use Word merge manager to make labels, using Entourage as my
data source. I choose Office Address Book as my data source. When it opens
up the window for me to drag the fields that I want to merge into the label,
it does not give me a separate option for work or home addresses. Any ideas
on how to choose those fields independently? In Entourage, I have a category
called "friends and family." When I select that as my query options, it does
indeed merge just those records. However, some of them merge with no
address, even though they are set up with addresses in Entourage. I tried
exporting my records and then opening them in Excel. I then merged that
Excel file into my Word label template. However, the "category" for each
record does not export, so I am unable to query based on category. This is
frustrating. Any ideas? Thanks, Greg

I'm having just the same problem Greg. I was scratching my head trying
to work out how it kinows which address to import (maybe always Work
address?) since I always get blank for address having used 'home' as
default address into which to sync my Clie. Think I'll delete all the
records and try syncing into 'work' instead and see what happens!

I believe I am having a similar problem. I'm trying to merge a custom field that I've set up in my Entourage Address Book so that it shows up in labels created in Word. However, the Office Address Book source does not display the custom field as an available field to include in the merge. Am I overlooking something obvious

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided!
