proper salutation

[Mindy]

Hi, I'm trying to do a mass email for the first time. I created the document in Word and I imported the contact information from Outlook. How can I make it so that the greeting line to read Dear Mr./Mrs. Doe and not Mr. John Doe? If someone could help me figure this out, I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Mindy

You need to start the merge from Outlook to gain access to all the fields.
Then if you have the title field filled you could use a conditional field
eg.

Dear {IF {mergefield title} <> "" "{Mergefield Title} {Mergefield
Last_Name}" "Sir/Madam"}

Use CTRL+F9 to set the field boundaries {}
