MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / September 2007Add a Microsoft Word letter to all Outlook contacts
How can I add a saved Microsoft Word letter to all my Outlook contacts? I could open each contact and save it but would take too long. Please help. Thanks. This post makes no sense. Explain more clearly what you want to do.  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > How can I add a saved Microsoft Word letter to all my Outlook contacts?

I would like to attach that document to all my contacts in Micrsoft Outlook. How can I do this? I know I could open Microsoft Outlook and open each contact and add a journal entry for each, but I have too many contacts. Please help. > This post makes no sense.

I will just do this the long way by going into each Outlook contact and making a journal entry and attaching the WORD document I want. Thank you anyway to all that have read my post. If there is anyone ELSE who can help me for future WORD document, I would appreciate it. Thank you. > Attach a Word Document to a Contact? > What do you mean? This makes no sense.

There may be another way to do what you want if we knew what that was. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Russ, you are not making sense to me.

It means you then open the document and that contact as a pointer to that file that you can open. And he want to do it for all the contacts. Makes good since. For example. I write a spec on a job. I want 50 of the contacts who are on tehat job to list that document. This way when I open up that contact you see that document and can open it. This is a feature of simple products like ACT! and Goldmine. Support is rather mentally slow here not understanding how a simple CRM like Outlook should function. > Attach a Word Document to a Contact? > What do you mean? This makes no sense.

First, this isn't "Outlook support". Second, Outlook is not a CRM. Perhaps it is not we who lack understanding. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] The previous post is from womeone isted as a MVP OUTLOOK and I was told by MS support that this would be a MS employee. So that is the direction of my response - to gather a response to MS. So far when somehting does not work, is removed, or just badly done MS has an excuse or ususally no response and poor support. I was hoping for a response as to a legitimate reason (as there might be a good reason for the design) or an "OK we goofed good Idea for next product." As a user we never know Whether MS supports their products as their new products demonstrate they do not have a clue to the real world and prove they think a prettier interface is more important than substance.

MVPs are NOT Microsoft employees. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Sorry - when I purchased support from MS and was sent to an employee in India and he searched this site to give me support and could not answer the question as I had already looked at this site. He told teh (the MS employee) that the MVP was an MS employee. Sorry for the misdirected anger > > The previous post is from womeone isted as a MVP OUTLOOK and I was > > told by MS support that this would be a MS employee. > > MVPs are NOT Microsoft employees. As a matter of fact, if any MVP subsequently becomes an employee of Microsoft, the MVP award is withdrawn as it is a conflict of interest.

Good on you for finally mentioning that this requirement is for "mass mailings" Now we can surmise that want you want is a record of what you emailed (possibly by merging) to a large number of people.

I didn't know what the process was called, I just knew there had to be an easier way then how I was doing it before. I didn't know what I was trying to do was called 'mass mailings' until I finally found something said in my outlook help. My 'mass mailings' consists of 20 contacts.

Thanks. Wrong - email is not mailing no matter what MS thinks. This was not for emailing but likning a file on hte HD to each client.
