Mail Composition & Address Book question

[evidence]

Before I purchase MS Office 2003 product(s) that are made to send EMail,
I need to know about EMail composition & the address book.

I expect to have a fairly large address book. When composing a new
message, and looking at the address book to select recipients, can I
sort the listings of the address book by a column marked "other" or
"organization" (or a similar column heading) ?

I will need to send an EMail "to" one address, a "bcc" to everyone on a
pre-set list of addresses, and to selected others. To be able to select
the others, I need to sort them first.

Thanks.

Hi, evidence,

Yes, Office will allow you to sort and filter the addresses in the list from
which you are performing a mail merge.

However, without knowing exactly how you plan to use the program, I would
recommend that you get the trial version of Office to see how it works
before buying it. Advice over an electronic forum may not be sufficient to
meet the business requirements that you expect from the product.

Good luck--
