Mail Merge Using Contacts

[Janice]

We discovered when attempting to do a mail merge using
Contacts, that when you click on Choose Contacts Folder,
there is no consistency in what it pulls up. A secretary
may have proxy to 2 or 3 attorneys' contacts folders,
plus have her own in her folder list, but only one of
those will be in the list. It might be hers or it might
be any one of the attorneys. I can't find any way to make
it show all those folders to which she has access, even
if she has owner rights to the folders. Has anyone else
run into this problem and found a solution?

Hi Janice,

The best place to ask this would be an Outlook newsgroup.
This functionality is based in Outlook, so if anyone knows
how to control it, it would be an Outlook person
