Graham,

I have set up a mail merge for Word. I had a list of names
that I entered into the mail merge list through Word. I
have a document that I am sending out and that is fine. I
am now trying to get the list of contacts from a .mdb file
in Word to a delimited .txt file to import into ACT
database. Hope this helps. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Paul
