Missing Outlook contact folder when merging in Word 2007 Anna 10/14/2008 6:44:00 AM In Outlook I have 3 sub-folders (A, B, C) under the main Contact folder. When I am doing a merge in Word 2007 and I want to select recipients from Outlook contacts, only the main contact folder and folders A and B are shown--folder C is not. How do I get it to appear in Word? -- Anna W

Re: Missing Outlook contact folder when merging in Word 2007 Beach Lover 11/7/2008 4:01:01 PM Hi Peter, I'm trying to do this same thing, but the contacts list is a shared list. When I select the contacts list, go to Tools, Mail Merge, and check the options I want, nothing happens when I click OK. Can this be done with a shared contacts list? (I get it to work find with a sub-contacts list within my own contacts.) "Peter Jamieson" wrote: [Quoted Text] > 1.
