You just have to learn how to do it. As Barry said, it's all in the Word Help under "Data Merge". Did you check that after reading Barry's answer? In Word X, go to Tools/Data Merge Manager. Go through the whole palette. "Create --> Mailing Labels" will allow you to choose the mailing label you want. Use the "Office Address Book" as your data Source when you get to that button. Do all the formatting you want with "Fields". At the bottom, press the "Query" button. (This is non-functional in Word 2001, but fully operational in Word X, which is why Barry asked.) That allows you to select contacts from the Office Address Book by Category, and/or by individual selection or de-selection. It's useful, if you're going to be repeating this many times, to have assigned the contacts you need a particular category back in Entourage, since it's simpler to select by category. Then you can Merge to a file (which allows you to save it for future use) and print there, or directly Print. If you have some other reason for wanting to export selected contacts to a text file (also can be opened in excel), you can get my shareware scripts Export-Import Entourage X from Macsripter.net <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> It too allows export by category, by selection, by flagged, etc. And there's a lot else you can export too: groups, calendar, tasks, signatures, etc. Probably not of interest at the moment. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise. -- 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/>
