You need to start the merge from Outlook, not Word. If you do that, all the OUtlook properties, including not just Job Title but any custom fields defined in the folderrrrr, will be available to the merge.

You're still starting the merge in Word, not in Outlook, because you're running it from a mail message that uses Word as the editor. Go to the Contact folder you want to use in the merge. Select the contacts you want to merge. Choose Tools | Mail Merge.

Correct. You have already selected the contacts to merge in Outlook. All you need to do is write the letter and insert the fields.

You need to select the Merge to E-mail option on the Merge toolbar.

Or, if you are using the Mail Merge task pane, in Step 1, select "E-mail messages." You will then see for Step 6, the option of Electronic Mail.
