Outlook 2003 Contacts - Nickname Field
I'm trying to use MailMerge and pick up the NICKNAME field from the contacts
list (no, not the Display As...the Nickname field). I painstakingly went through all my contacts to insert nicknames where they were needed so I could insert that into my correspondence when appropriate. Now I can't find that field anywhere. I tried exporting ALL the fields from my Contacts to an Excel file, and I don't see NickName there, either. I even tried adding NICKNAME to my Contacts VIEW thinking I could maybe use it that way. Is this field available ANYWHERE outside of the DETAILS tab inside a Contact????

Outlook 2003 Contacts - Nickname Field
It is certainly available in Field chooser to add to your Contacts View, and
it is available as a merge field if you start the merge from Outlook. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Shirlo" wrote in message ...

Outlook 2003 Contacts - Nickname Field
Thanks! I haven't tried the merge starting from Outlook. I'll try that. I
could swear I looked thru all the categories in Field Chooser, but guess I missed it, 'cuz there it is!
