Outlook should allow user to export, print queried data.

[Guest]

Our business really likes Outlook 2003 but we are having trouble utilizing
queried data for use in Word, Access, Excel as well as non-Microsoft
products. We are using an hosted Exchange Server and Categories to our
greatest pleasure but there is no convenient way to get this information out
of the progam.

For instance, if I have several people listed in a Category "Thailand
Excursion", and want to send a letter to only these people, it does not
appear possible.

If Outlook, Word, Excel and Access are part of a Suite of products, why
don't they work together? It doesn't make sense that they don't fully
integrate.

That's easily done. In the By Category view of your contacts, select all the people in that category, then choose Tools | Mail Merge and follow the prompts to perform a mail merge in Word.

You've looked at 'mail merge'?
