outlook custom fields exported in word or excel

[Yannick]

Hi,

we have created a custom form for a contact folder in Outlook 2007. We have
added fields like Newsletter EN : yes / no, Newsletter FR : yes/no.

In the mailling part on Word, we are able to select the correct contact
folder, but the custom fields are not shown. We are unable to create a
selection based on these fields.

Is there any way ?

Thanks for your help

You would have to write custom code to export the custom fields to either
Word or Excel.

This is for a mail merge in Word? Make sure that (a) the fields are defined
in the Outlook folder, not just in the custom form and (b) you start the
merge from Outlook, not Word. If you do that, you'll be able to choose to
include all custom fields in the merge, and they'll be visible in Word's
field chooser.
