MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / December 2003Merging With Word, But Starting In Outlook
I'm using O2003/W2003. I currently select my contacts in Outlook, Mail Merge with Word and it works fine. I'm using Plain Text to send my emails. It seems if I want to start sending email messages in HTML, I first need to start in Word, Mail Merge and then select the contacts from Outlook. Is that correct? Its easier (and what I'm used to) to me to start in Outlook, select the file and merge, however, I can only merge in Plain text. Even if I select HTML, it converts the email to plain text. Is it possible to start the merge in Outlook, merge with Word and use HTML? thxs srm Not so. You can still select HTML format when you start the merge from Outlook. In fact, it is the default. If it is not, you will have the ability to change the format when you hit the Merge to Email button on the Mail merge Toolbar.  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > I'm using O2003/W2003.

It's always better to use the Mail Merge Toolbar.

This is not an option when merging to email using HTML format. thxs srm > Right. the Mail Merge Task Pane can lead to dead ends. It's always better to > use the Mail Merge Toolbar.
