OL97: Field Differences Between Outlook and Word Mail Merge (167770)

MORE INFORMATION

A few fields in the "All Contact Fields" group in Outlook have different names in Word Mail Merge. Most have the same name in both Outlook and Word but 63 are not available in Word at all. No user-defined Outlook fields are available in Word.

NOTE: To access more Outlook Contact fields you can export the Contact folder via a comma or tab delimited file, and use that file as the Word Mail Merge data source, rather than the Outlook Address Book.

The following are the Word Merge Fields with their corresponding Outlook fields, as they appear in the Word "Insert Merge Field" list.
