Mail Merge

[Pauline Wood]

When I am in Word and using the Mail Merge Wizard, I encounter problems when
I click on Select Recipients - select from Outlook contacts. I get an error
message which pops up and says "The operation cannot be completed because of
dialog or database engine failures. Please try again later. - help!

For best results, start the merge from Outlook not Word.
