OK, this is better (I didn't realize Query Options worked this way; I've used data merge before with Excel docs). But I still can't select the flagged contacts (obviously, I could create another category instead of using flags, but the flags worked well in Custom View). And, more important, it doesn't seem to sort in any rational order (I can't figure out how it has sorted; maybe by the order in which I entered the contacts?). Also, when I tried to insert tabs (in the document made by merging), it acted very strangely - kept removing the ruler so I couldn�t add more tabs. I eventually got the spacing I wanted, and I can obviously use a header to have column headings, but that was when I noticed the weird sorting and decided to call it quits for the night. Oh, and it also doesn't offer both home and work phone numbers, which I have in my custom view - just "phone" which I'm assuming is the phone number associated with the default address, and "mobile phone." > >> I can't >> believe that it isn't possible to print a list of contacts formatted as I >> want it.

I didn't look at the Word help, although my recollection from my early forays into data merge is that the Help for that was more confusing than helpful. Of course, I did eventually figure out how to print mailing labels from an Excel file of names and addresses, so I guess the Help eventually got me sorted out. -- Jan Martel in Davis, CA iBook; System 10.1.3, 9.2.2 -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
