So what do you suggest?
I want to merge my contacts to Word.
The selected contacts have to be printed on enveloppes (my girlfriend is
pregnant, and the baby is comming one of these days...)
On the print, I want to have something like:
Mr Bob Harley
John, Mark and Emily
Bigstreet 45
1234 City
BELGIUM
Where "John, Mark and Emily" are the kids of Bob. They should be separated
by colon.
Can this be done with Outlook?
How? It seems that Outlook automatically changes order of display and
replaces semi-colon by colon if I type in the children's name in the
predefined field in outlook...)
thanx in advance!
(as I mentioned before, the sooner I have a solution, the better: my
girlfriend is getting nervous....)
regards,
bart
