Outlook Middle Name in Merge Fields

[alan]

I'm not sure what I am supposed to do first.

I wrote a letter to be merged with some of my outlook contacts. I
already copied those I needed into a new sub Contacts folder in
Outlook.

However, when I try to insert merge fields, the <<Middle Name>> is not
on the list. I haven't done this in a year and I forgot what to do.
How do I get all the outlook fields, or at least the fields in that
particular view, which included middle name, to appear on the Insert
Merge Field List?

Versions are so important when asking questions. Perhaps this will help?

Yep, and I was going to do it but forgot!

Anne, I did that one on my own (to put Insert Merge Field on the Merge
Toolbar) BUT, when I hit Insert Merge Field, middle name doesn't show
up, unless I missed it.

Start the merge from Outlook.

It's there now. I don't know what happened but it wasn't there
before. Maybe when I tried to start the merge from Outlook, Outlook
put it in. It didn't work when I selected the contact file from the
Wizzard.

Word uses a different subset of fields from Outlook when you start the merge
from Word. You get all the fileds if you start from Outlook - as described
in the link to my web page that Doug posted.
