Thanks for the quick reply, Dan. Yes, I do have the whole Office X. I spent
most of this morning trying to figure out the Data Merge Manager. I created
a Word document of the text that I wanted to email these folks. I opened up
the Data Merge Manager. In the "Get Data" button, I chose "Office Address
Book", but it tries to import all 2400 names. I then tried to export only a
subset of the Address book (just those associated with the category I'm
trying to merge with), but it kept exporting all 2400 again.
I think the key with this is being able to export just the "first name" of
these 50 Entourage contacts, into a tab-delimited file. I think the Data
Merge Manager could then be pointed to that file.
Am I on the right track?
