Is what you are thinking of, perhaps, some kind of AppleScript that would
let you export contact information, selected by category (one or more), to a
tab-delimited text file? I imagine that such a file would make fine input to
a data merge in Word, although I have yet to try that out. That might be
something someone like Paul or me might be interested in writing.
It isn't perfect, but it would just entail one extra step of exporting the
file. It <would> be nice if you could tell the Data Merge Manager to use
just a certain category from the address book, or just selected records so
you could filter on category and then merge. Feature request, I guess.
