Missing Outlook contact folder when merging in Word 2007

[Anna]

In Outlook I have 3 sub-folders (A, B, C) under the main Contact folder. When
I am doing a merge in Word 2007 and I want to select recipients from Outlook
contacts, only the main contact folder and folders A and B are shown--folder
C is not. How do I get it to appear in Word?

Thank you Peter. I checked help and added the folder to the Outlook address
book and it solved my problem.

Hi Peter,

I'm trying to do this same thing, but the contacts list is a shared list.
When I select the contacts list, go to Tools, Mail Merge, and check the
options I want, nothing happens when I click OK. Can this be done with a
shared contacts list? (I get it to work find with a sub-contacts list within
my own contacts.)

Your other message suggests you may have fixed this problem, but if not,
FWIW I've just been through the process of sharing my contacts list here and
the approach seems to work OK whoever opens the contact list.
