The rate limiting step was ?query options¹...it worked but erroneously. I
set up my Avery 8161 label as follows:

First name>>Last name
Address>>Street
City>>State>>Zip
Country

What printed was:

First name>>Last name
Address>>Street
City>>State>>Zip>>address>>Street
Country
City>>State>>Zip

[now the database, Entourage address book, has home and business addresses.
It didn¹t ask me which and I think it printed the default address, but did
it twice in the format above. Any suggestions, Michel, please?]

You accidentally sent your reply to my email account, so I'll paste it in
here. Anyway, here's a few tips: use the instructions from Word Help, as I
told you. You'll end up with a page that presumably contains lots of table
cells with entries that look like "«First_Name» «Last_Name»
«Address»". You've selected the Office Address Book as your data source, and
since you only want to print a few specific addresses, you'll have to use
query options. On the Data Merge palette, expand the Merge pane, if it isn't
already. Click on Query Options, and in that new dialogue, use the dropdown
list at the very top to list mail merge recipients by "complete record".
You'll now see your entire address book, with checkboxes in front of each
contact. Since you only want to print ~30, you'd better click on Clear All
in the lower left corner and then individually select the contacts you need.
If you now click on OK and then print the document, you should theoretically
get what you want. If that's not the case, post back. And make sure you hit
"reply to newsgroup" if you do so.
