How do I match the fields between a mail merge letter and busines.

[pgottwig]

I have a form letter on MS Word (MS Office SBE 2003), but when I use the mail
merge function there is no field for "Job Title" and therefore the job title
will not show up in the letter. Is there a way to add this field into the
merge document manually or format the fields?

I assume that you are using Outlook as the datasource. Starting the
mailmerge from Outlook will give you more options.

Hello pgottwig

As I understand you are using Word 2003 and want to
insert Jobtitle field in your merge documents.

For this we need to start Word applicaton and when we are
doing mail merge
In step 3 of 6 when we click on Type a new list
then click on create (blue link) New addres list dialog
box opens
In that window we have option which says Customize lets
click on that.
Customize address list box appears
Click on Add button
In Add field lets type "Jobtitle"
click on ok.

This new field Jobtitle appears in Type new list dialog
box.

Lets enter the all the data in all fields and click close.

Carry on with other steps as usual.
AFter inserting fields you will see Jobtitle field.

You can use jobtitle from here.

If you wish to add some other fields you can do by
following above steps.

If this resolves your issue please mail me to notify that.

Thank you..
Have a nice day,
Bye.
