Word merge should let me filter Outlook contacts by Category

[Gary]

Using Office 2003. I have all my Outlook contacts in Categories (i.e.
Christmas Cards). When I go to Word to do a mail merge, I don't have the
option of filtering by Categories. I have to export all contacts, sort by
Categories, then delete all I don't want. It would be easier if Word gave
the the option of selecting which Categories I want to include in a mail
merge.

I think you need to start from Outlook, set up a View which has the records
you need then Tools, Mail Merge
