Importing Outlook 2000 Contacts into Word Mail Merge

Does anyone know how to import a Outlook 2000 Contacts
list into a Word document for mail merge? I've setup a
letter template and I want to use my Outlook Contacts
list as the data source for the mail merge. I'm having
difficulty making this happen. Also, I would like to
select the contacts for my letters based on categories
that I've created for them. How can I do that, as well?
I appreciate all feedback. Thanks.

No import is necessary.
Mail merges can easily be configured to use your Outlook Contacts as a data
source.
State your difficulty. You provided no information.
