Printing Contact Notes in Address Books
 
I posted this question several days ago and haven't received any response.
Thought I'd try again.

I have a number of notes associated with my contacts list. Some of them are
somewhat long. When I print the address book these notes are cut off. Is
there any way to have outlook print the entire note when printing an address
book. I am using a medium sized book style with two pages printed on an 81/2
by 11 sheet with one column per page. I am also having trouble making the
address book print two sided. I set my printer up to print two sided -
Officejet G95 - but the output is still onsided.

I am not sure but it may be that the notes output is restricted to 255
characters. If this is true is there any way to export all the contact
information and then print it out in an address book format using some other
program?

Thanks

EIther print in Outlook in memo style or use the Tools | Mail Merge to create your own unique address book printing format using Word.

There isn't a mail merge selection under tools in outlook. Did you mean to export the contacts file and then use mail merge in word? I am using Word 2000 and Outlook 2003 so there is no connection between Word and outlook which may be why there is no mail merge option in Outlook. Also, if you use mail merge is there a way to keep a heading in the word template document from printing if the mail merge field associated with that heading is blank.


Thanks
