Zip Code won't default

[David DiCanio]

Here is the problem that I still can't solve. I'm
starting a mail merge from Outlook 2002, and browsing
from the "Mail Merge Contacts" dialog box under "Existing
document." The Word document that I bring up has
an "AddressBlock," that for some reason does not bring
the zip code up. So, I have to edit the mail merge every
time by going into the addressblock (i.e. right click,
select edit address block, hit match fields button, and
then under "required information" I do a drop down menu
in the "Postal Code" catagory (which by default
says, "not available"), and select "ZIPPostal_Code").
Why do I have to select that every time? How do I make
it default so I don't have to go into the addressblock
every time? Is there anyone that can solve this for me.
Thanks.

Don't use the address block.
