Outlook contacts not showing all fields in Word 2003 mail merge

[Guest]

I am using Word 2003 and trying to use the mail merge wizard. I choose to
use my Outlook contacts for the data source; and my "Contacts: Mailbox: My
name" appears as the only one to choose (and is indeed the only one I use) so
I choose it. However, when I get the list of fields to filter - it is not
showing my contacts fields, it is showing my Inbox fields? I have Outlook
open, Working Offline, and have the Contacts folder open prior to starting
the Mail Merge Wizard. What am I doing wrong? And, I want to be able to
choose the Home Phone number field to print on my list.

Try starting the merge from Outlook, not Word.
