SYMPTOMS

If you attach an address list to Microsoft Direct Mail Manager, verify the addresses in the list, and then save the updated address list as a new file, the new address list will contain additional fields that were not in the original address list.

MORE INFORMATION

New address lists that Microsoft Direct Mail Manager create are formatted according to a predefined format that Microsoft Direct Mail Manager uses.

If you want to retain the original format of the address list, then you should choose the Update option (rather than "Save results to a new file") when saving the address list.

The predefined format that Microsoft Direct Mail Manager uses contains the following field names: 
   Salutation
   FullName
   LastFirstName
   LastName
   FirstName
   MiddleName
   Title
   Company
   Address
   Address2
   Address3
   Address4
   Address5
   Suite
   City
   State
   PostalCode
   Country
