Hello,
I don't have an answer but my guess is that someone in the Word.mailmerge
newsgroup probably will.

I am not sure this is a bug so much as a failure to bring the merge process
into line with the merge wizard now used in Word 2003. The Outlook merge
dialog also still refers to Catalog merges - now called Directory merges.

Now what? I need some more steps added (and this is Office 2003).
You must accept the data file already attached if you want the filtered
records and the additional field names.
The field names you get when merging from Outlook into Word are not the same
as those you get when merging from Word with Outlook.
