Well, I am in the process of creating a solution that will let you use any
or all of your contacts/groups, based on criteria you specify (including
categories), and also specify the merge fields to use for a data merge
source file. You can then use that file for whatever kind of merge you want
to do: envelopes, labels, or form letters. (Actually it's a two-step
process. The first part uses a dialog [UserForm] in Word to gather the
information and creates a text file with all of the parameters. An
AppleScript run from Entourage will then use that data to create the merge
source file.)
The current working name is "eQuery". For a variety of reasons it's taking a
bit longer than I'd originally anticipated, but I am progressing. No
specific time frame yet, I'm afraid, but I'll post here when I have
something that seems viable.
