MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / August 2007Email Mail Merge to HTML format using Word 2007???
I was hoping that someone might be able to let me know what trick is to merge an email list to an HTML format? I have absolutely no problem if I wished to send the merge file electronically using plain text as the Mail format but if I attempt to send the document as HTML it does nothing when I click Finish and Merge\Send E-mail Messages…\(Mail Format - HTML) OK? If anyone has an answer I would really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance. - CES >I was hoping that someone might be able to let me know what trick is to >merge an email list to an HTML format? 1. It will only work if you are using the full Outlook as your e-mail client (i.e. it doesn't work with Outlook Express). 2. Even with Outlook, some people report "disappearing messages". In that case, the first thing to try is an Office Check/Repair from within Outlook.

Thanks in advance. - CES Peter I'm using Outlook 2007... I've look under all of the menu item dropdowns but can't find an option for Check/Repair anywhere within Outlook or Office? - CES I think in 2007 you probably have to use Office Button|Outlook Options|Resources|Diagnose to do much the same thing. Trouble is I only have Word 2007 here so can't be sure. Peter Jamieson >>> I was hoping that someone might be able to let me know what trick is to >>> merge an email list to an HTML format?

I had a user ask me the same thing. After I went to their computer to investigate I found that they weren't completely finishing the email Merge. If you are using the Wizard on the last step (Bottom Right hand corner of Word's email wizard) it states complete the merge. And when you click it it appears as nothing happens. There is actually one more step (Step 6). Above it says Merge and has a link stating Electronic Mail, Click the link. A merge to mail window opens up and you will be able to choose the field for To: and type a subject line and choose a mail format. (HTMLetc). Then Click All Records and OK. I hope this helps. If you aren't using the wizard try it as it may uncover something you are missing.

Thanks in advance. - CES First, this problem has been reported before, but no-one has yet identified the reason for the problem. I have never been able to replicate the problem here so have never been able to report the problem properly to Microsoft support (we're just volunteers here) but I suggest that you do so if your software is still under warranty from them. There's one basic check you should make: is Outlook the default Mail program (IE Tools|Internet Options|programs) ? There is one Microsoft KB article that says that if you have a COM Addin called bxAutoZip (see Outlook Tools|Options|Other|"Advanced Options"|"COM Addins") disable it temporarily. (If you have other addins and disabling them will do no harm, I'd do that too). Some people seem to have got rid of the problem by checking Outlook Tools|Options|Other|"Advanced options"|"Enable mail logging (troubleshooting)". Then restarting. I would also consider finding your .pst file is, making a backup copy, and running the SCANPST.EXE utility - on my system it's in C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033 ) Another possibility is that this problem only occurs when the user has more than one Outlook profile on their system. In that case I think the suggestion is that Word is actually logging into a different profile from the one you normally use. So you could a. check that b. ensure you only have one mail profile (Control Panel|Mail|Show Profiles) and/or c. recreate your Outlook profile (I don't have a good set of instructions for that right now) Peter Jamieson >I have the same problem but NOTHING gets to the Outlook 2007 outbox. > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] >> > Merge\Send E-mail Messages…\(Mail Format - HTML) OK? If anyone has an >> > answer I would really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance. - CES I have looked and MS Outlook 2007 is my default mail client. I just got my PC with Windows Professional on it. Who would I contact to report the problem? SignatureAccount Manager It depends partly on where you are and whether your version of /Office/ was an "OEM" version - typically, preloaded on the machine, or a "retail" version. If it's OEM/preloaded, normally you have to seek support from the machine's supplier. If you bought the "retail" version< i would try to visit the Microsoft support web pages (try http://support.microsoft.com ) for your country/region. I would suggest that in this case you try to find the appropriate support phone number. In my experience issues the "e-incident" submission method doesn't deal with problems that involve more than one product. FWIW in the UK I would phone support, ask for "Professional support" and I now know who I would end up dealing with, but it looks like you're in a different region. I wish you luck. Please post back here if you get a resolution. Peter Jamieson >I have looked and MS Outlook 2007 is my default mail client. I just got my > PC with Windows Professional on it.

Thanks in advance. - CES > These are great suggestions, however I am having the same problem as CES > and > I cannot locate a .pst file on my system. 1. I would try the detect and repair first, if you have not doene so already. 2. If your copy of Outlook is connected to an Exchange Server, it can be set up in several possible ways. You'd need to ask the Outlook people for more details, but these days, I think it would be fairly typical for your PC to be set up in "Cached Exchange Mode", in which case it gets its data from the Exchange Server but mirrors it in an "Offline" file which has the extension .ost. It's also possible that you have /no/ local file containing your messages. 3. If you have a .ost, you would need to use SCANOST instad of SCANPST. You can find out the locaiton of the .ost by selecting your toplevel "Mailbox - your name" item in Outlook, right-click, Properties|General|AdvancedAdvanced|Offline Folder File Settings . If you have some other kind of Outlook configuration, you will probably be able to find out the name and location of any .pst using a similar approach/ 4. If you can see that there /should be/ a .ost or .pst but cannot find it using search or Windows Explorer, the chances are that you need to ensure that System/Hidden items are included in the search, and/or that in Windows Explorer Tools|Folder Options|View you have Hidden files and folders|Show hidden files and folders selected for the relevant folder (I usually select it for one folder, Apply, then click Apply to all folders).

They all had damage and the scan fixed them. It generated a log too mapparenetly it could not find the 'BBT entry in the RBT" when it tried to recover the PST/OST for top level objects got the messasge 'folder invalid high-water mark" when it tried to walk all foldres (??) it said "Heirarchy table for 122, row does not match sub-object" and it still does not work... any way of reinstalling these files? Once again thank you so much for your help! all the best Laila > Peter Jamieson > [quoted text clipped - 90 lines] > >> >> > an > >> >> > answer I would really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance. - CES Hi Laila, At this point I am not sure what to suggest. Do you have more than one Outlook profile? You can /probably/ find out in WinXP by looking at Control Panel, then "Switch to Classic View", then "Mail", then "Show Profiles". One explanation I have seen in the past for this kind of behaviour is that Word sends its mails to the "currently-logged in" profile or "default" profile, and if that isn't the same as your "normal" profile, it's possible that the "MAPI subsystem", which deals with all this stuff, never gets to send the messages. Although I am way outside my area of experttise at this point, unfortuantely so far I haven't been able to get any further by asking the "MAPI" people/ If you are entitled to some free support (e.g. warranty support) from MS then I strongly recommend that you contact them directly (most people here are just volunteers who do not work for Microsoft). Although I've mentioned this problem to MS and explored various possibilities, I have never been able to replicate it myself so have not been able to submit my own incident. All I can suggest is that if you do contact them, I have a few ideas that may help someone in this area. Peter Jamieson > Thank you! >> 1.
