Outlook Advanced Find Mail Merge

[Greg]

I am trying to do a mail merge that will print postcards
for my business. I use the categories field to seperate
the types of businesses I want to target. I would like to
choose 1,2 or more categories to pull from my master
list. I do this using the advance find the checking the
categories then search. The problem is that I can not
then send these results out the the word mail merge.
There is no export or mail merge function from the
advanced find area.

When I am in Word, the sort function does not allow you
to select categories.

I know there must be a way, I must be trying the wrong
way.

Thanks

Advanced Find only gives you a "view" of your set find options. It does not
give you anything other than that. You will need to get the categories from
another option.

That part I have figured out. How do you sort/filter
using categories before doing a mail merge?
