suffix in merge documents

[kathygirl8]

I've created a merge letter which grabs information from my microsoft outlook
contacts and merges the info. into my letter. Many of my contacts are
attorneys and i need to have Esq. printed after their name. I have Esq.
indicated within Outlook as the "Suffix", but when I merge the letter with
the contact, everything gets merged, but the "Suffix" - It is left out. I
spent hours trying to figure this out and am totally frustrated. So I am
appealing to anyone who does quite a bit of merge printing. Below is the way
I have the merge fields typed within my merge letter. But as I said, title,
first name and last name print and the suffix doesn't. I would appreciate
any help!!

«Courtesy Title» «First» «Last» «Suffix»

thanks!!!!

The Suffix field is only available if you merge starting from Outlook -

The fieldnames used when starting from Outlook are different from those when
starting from Word so you may need to amend your merge document.
