You can indeed use your address books from multiple sources; don't know about Outlook 2007 as I'm only checking in linux at the moment. File|Templates|Address Book Source|Administrate on my system is currently showing: Evolution Groupwise Evolution LDAP Mozilla/Netscape Thunderbird KDE address book LDAP address data Other external data source I can then use any one of those sources to create my 'mail merge'. OK, I just checked on a WinXP system w/OOo 3.0 and it shows: Mozilla/Netscape Thunderbird LDAP address data Outlook address book Windows system address book Other external data source So, have a look at your system & you'll most likely find similar. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
