My eQuery app/AppleScript combo still works in Entourage X...the docs say it
requires Office 2001, but it works just fine with Office X, too. It will
take care of creating a merge source file for you with the contacts you
want, as well as the fields you need.

eQuery is available at <http://gaclark.home.sprynet.com/equery/>
