Hi,

I'm using microsoft word 2010 to do a letter mail merge (fields consists of name, address, city, date, etc). All the fields are from an excel file.

However, I want the "contact name" field to be a drop-down menu so when the user picks a "contact name"....the other fields associated with that name fill in.

Seems easy but for the life of me i can't figure it out.

Any ideas?

Marc
