WD97: Some Contact List Fields Not Available to Word

• Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you use the "Use Address Book" feature in a mail merge document, only some fields from the contacts list are available to Word.

CAUSE

Some fields in the contacts list do not contain messaging application program interface (MAPI) properties; therefore, the converter (Wwpab.cnv) that Word uses to interpret the information from the Personal Address Book does not recognize these fields.
