Can't get sort button in data merge

[Nancy Harralson]

Using Word 2004 for Mac, I'm setting up labels using Data Merge Manager. All
is fine until I try to sort the data. I open Query Options under Merge, but
no Sort Button. All I get is "list catagories you want included". Any help
would be appreciated.

Apparently you're using the Office Address Book as your record source. In
that case the records cannot be sorted in the same way as a part of the mail
merge operation. Click the Categories button & select Complete Record, then
use the Heading button of the column you want to sort on.

You can also sort the records in the Address Book by going to Tools> Address
Book then clicking the Heading of the column you want to sort on.

Alternatively you can work with the Address Book through Entourage for more
complex sorting.
