    Outlook to Word merge.

    If you write a letter using the Letter wizard in Outlook, you just have to deal with the presets contained in it. As far as I know, there is no way to change the order of fields or the default name of the document other than manually retyping it when you save it. What looks like a better fit...

    Word document that isn't what it seems
