Mail Merge in Office 97

[David]

I have an extensive list of contacts in Outlook in a variety of user-created
categories.
I also have several form letters in Word 97.

Here is my problem.....

Each form letter is being mailed to a particular group. These groups are
separated into the categories in Outlook. So far, I have not been able to
find a way to configure the mail merge between Word and Outlook to query
only the addresses in a particular Outlook category.

Is this possible? (The query apparently does not give me the option to
filter by the categories set up in Outlook)

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

it's been a while since I used Outlook 97 but... if you begin the merge from
Outlook, can you select the contacts and only use the selected contacts?
