Printing View with empty fields

[DM]

Hello all,

I apologize if this has been answered previously but i couldnt find previous
info on this through search...

i am using outlook 2003 sp3. I created a created a view for a folder under
my contact list with some user-defined fields for the folder the contacts
are in. I am trying to print the address book entries with the blank fields
(so a user knows to gather this information) one page per address book
entry. I have managed the 1 entry per page deal, but i can not figure out
how to get the blank fields to show up. Only the fields with entries output
to the hardcopy.

I have tried to mail merge to a doc file, but the user defined fields for
the folder do not carry over to be selected from in the mail merge fields.

Any ideas how i can achieve this? Should i create a form to view the contact
list and print from that?

Thanks in advance,
-dustin

On method: Copy the table view and paste into notepad to use as the merge
data then set the merge to show unused field.

Thanks Diane, I dont know why i didnt think of that. i just gave the user
snagit to print his contact list for the Custom Card View he wanted. its
probably easiest for said user. But thanks for the idea.
