I have a mail merge document (like the sample attached).

I have several options, I can either print it normally, OR if I want to e-mail fax it I can print it to the "Faxmaker" printer, that is set up. If I select faxmaker printer and hit print, it automatically opens a new Microsoft outlook mail message where in the "To:" field I would enter in the fax number.

My question is this, is there a script or something that I can use to take the fax number out of the mail merge document and insert it into the "To:" field in MS outlook?

One solution would be to use Word's bookmark feature. Assign the bookmark to the length of the fax number, then insert the bookmark text into the To: field of MS Outlook.
