Greeting Field in OL 03

[Bob S]

I use OL 03. I often want to construct a merged letter with "Dear
{Greeting}," at the beginning. It would be best if I had a field in OL
which contained the name(s) I would want in such a greeting or salutation,
such as John or John and Mary, or Uncle Mark. Is there a "Greeting" or
"Salutation" field in OL 2003?
Thanks for the help.

You have 2 options:
1) Mail merge

2) Create a signature with the Dear or whatever then your name and such.
Write in the middle for your message.


Cheers

Thanks Diane,
Could you tell me the name of the OL field and where to find it, like in
"All Name fields" or "All Contact fields", ...?
Thanks again.
Bob
