How do I set up address lists from contacts in Office
What do you mean by "address list?" Outlook uses no such term. What do you
need to do with your Contacts that you cannot do now? There are many ways to organize Contacts such as Categories or separate folders, but there is no such thing as "address lists." -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Buzzer Bee" Buzzer wrote in message ...

How do I set up address lists from contacts in Office
Hi Russ
Thanks for your post. I have been using MS Works to prepare what I call "my address lists". I suppose a more accurate title would be my "mailing list". It is from this list that I prepare my envelopes and address lables for Christmas cards and client mailings. Your expert help on this would be greatly appreciated.

As I said, you are simply looking for ways to organize your Contacts. I
already suggested the two most commonly used. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Buzzer Bee" wrote in message news  Hi Russ Thanks for your post.

How do I set up address lists from contacts in Office
Hi Russ
Thanks for your prompt reply. I am not a 'techie', so how precisely do I organise my contacts so that I can print off sheets of address lables? Gratefully looking forward to your reply - a good 'help' search would be good. Buzzer Bee. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: As I said, you are simply looking for ways to organize your Contacts.

Open your Contacts folder in Outlook, click ToolsMail Merge. Select which contacts and contact fileds you want, choose "Mailing Labels" inthe "Document type" drop-down at the bottom left and select the merge output type (like "Printer") in the "Merge To" field. Click OK Set up thre Mail Merge Helper with the format you want, and click OK. Continue with the promts until you have what you want. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

How do I set up address lists from contacts in Office
The same two ways I mentioned:
1. You can create a category, then do a mail merge to the category by starting the merge from Outlook and merging to the selected category of Contacts. 2. You can create a separate Contacts folder. That way will permit you to start the merge from either Outlook or Word. There are lots of help files on how to do mail merges: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...186361033.aspx http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Buzzer Bee" wrote in message ...
