- 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.


MORE INFORMATION
================

For additional information on using contact lists with Word, please see the
following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  Q167770 OL97: Field Differences Between Outlook and Word Mail Merge


The following table lists the properties supported by the converter, including
which address books they can be used with. A maximum of 12 properties can be
used at one time.

For additional information on how to use these properties, please see the
