OK, the problem is that there are several different methods of connecting to
Outlook and
a. you get different fields depending on the method used
b. the fields may be named differently depending on the method
c. if you are lucky, one method will get you everything you need.
If you are connecting using the Mail Merge Wizard in Word, you will only see
the "Mr." type title, not the job title.
The connection method that presents you with the most fields in the Outlook
address book is to initiate the merge from Outlook's Tools|Mail merge
option. This is where Graham's article was suggesting you go. I strongly
recommend you try if you have not already ruled it out.You should find the
field you need in the "Database" fields. If that is not an option, then you
can try this kludge, but you will see even fewer fields:
a. create a completely empty file called x.olk, e.g. using Notepad
(actually, this step may be redundant for current purposes but it may have
its uses later on)
b. In Word, check Tools|Options|"Confirm conversions at open".
c. In the merge wizard, use "Select a different list", in Select Data
Source locate and select x.olk (you may need to change the file type in the
box at the bottom of the dialog).. When you click Open, you should see a
list of connection methods - choose the one that goes "via converter
(*.olk))
d. I think you will see your job title in Title and the "Mr." type title in
"Courtesy_Title", but you may well lose other stuff you need.
