Word Merge for specific records

[Newbie]

Hi,

Office XP

I have a database of addresses and an almost standard letter. I want to be
able to use the addresses from my database so that I don't have to keep
typing them out.


Each letter will be different so at the point of printing I want to be able
to select the address that i want to use

How do I do this?

What form does this databes take?
I would be inclined to create a new contacts list in Outlook and import it
there as the tools for mailmerging single records from within Outlook are
excellent.
Also using Outlook you could use the method from
http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm which is how I draw addressed from
Outlook to my letter head templates.

Thanks but the list of addresses is a query based on a SQL database
(impractical to recreate in Outlook) How can I do it using this list rather
than an Outlook list?
