Adding to "Insert Merge Field" Drop-down Menu

[Jerome]

I am trying to mail merge using a cusotmized Contact form
and when I click on the "Insert Merge Field" drop-down
menu, some of the merge fields I want to use aren't
listed. How do I add additional fields to this menu?

Thanks,
Jerome

Hi Jerome,

Unfortunately, you don't mention which version of Word
you're using. But generally, it's better to start the mail
merge from within Outlook if you need to get all the fields.
(Tools/Mail merge in Outlook, when viewing Contacts).
