Ok, here's my question about outlook...kind of complex. I
want to send out a mass email....easy enough - just create
a group in the address book and send to the group.
However, I also want each email to start with "Dear *their
name*," ...In other words, I send out an email to 50
different people and - in the actual body of the email's
text - it has their first name in a spot I determine. Does
that make sense? I currently have the addresses and names
I want to send to in the contact list.

Regards
Vish

I am using an addin for Outlook called Easy Mail Merge that you may
find it useful too. Creating a mail merge with this program it is very
simple. It is a wizard that guides you trough the process of creating
the mail merge. It can also add automatically personalized greetings
according to contacts first or their last name.

You can find it here:

I downloaded the trial version and it seems to be the solution to my
problem.
But its not working. I am unable to insert the fileds in the body of
the text.

none of the bottons seem to work. I ask for preview and it showed a
fatal error.

Any advises.

Thanks
