Contact Mail Merge
 
I am trying to do a mail merge gleaning data from two "public/shared contact
folders" (Small Business Server) into one document. I am very familiar with
the mail merge in general.

My problem, how to find the data source for a public folder? Where is it and
what is its file type? And, how to use two such contact folders for one mail
merge?

Any clues?

Contact Mail Merge
 

You find the data source very easilly - start in the Contacts folder,
highlight the Contacts you want to merge to and then Tools | Mailmerge |
select merge to email and then use the Insert Merge fields button in Word.
Word will fire up automatically.

This is a good reason to have Contacts in a single folder - if you want to
merge to COntacts from 2 folders, you need to repeat the process from
scratch.
