MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / October 2005make Distribution List from word
I use an Access Database to keep track of membership of a local not-for-profit organisation and would like to be able to set up different contact lists using various queries. Can this be done through a mail merge (Word) or is there another way around. I'm surprised that this isn't disccused in MS help. Word mail merge would be an excellent solution for sending messages to your members.

What I'd like to do is merge to a Distribution List in Outlook so I don't have to go through Word everytime I want to send an email. Any thoughts? > Word mail merge would be an excellent solution for sending messages to your members. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > (Word) or is there another way around.

Sending individual messages with mail merge rather than bulk mail with a distribution list increases the chances that the message will not be labeled as spam by the recipient's program. It also works out of the box, with no additional application or programming required.
