Use categories set up in Outlook 07 to filter Word 07 mail merge?
I have all my contacts in Outlook 07 set up in categories by function for use
in Outlook and for easier use on my Treo 700 when synched. I had hoped to also be able to filter on the category basis for a mail merge in Word 07 for e-mails, labels, etc., but the category field doesn't appear. Is there a way to get the category field to appear as a filter? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! I'm shocked this functionality isn't already there, as the categories are a great way to segregate contacts. I'm hoping it's there and I've just missed it. Thanks!

Use categories set up in Outlook 07 to filter Word 07 mail merge?
Start the merge from Outlook, using the By Category view to grab the contacts category you want.
