Hallo,

I like to email word-serial letters. For this I prepared
the query options appropriately, set up the email (Subject
matter + document as attachment)and "merged" it.
Apart from that all data that contains email addresses is
filtered out, nothing happens.

How can I actually 'send' the serial mails - do I have to
set this up in Outlook maybe?

Also I am wondering if datasources are being attached as
well, somehow. If yes, is this avoidable?

I appreciate any advise,
regards,
Heike

Out of the box, Word cannot merge to email with attachments.

Though from what you say, I am not sure that you need to. Set up the
mailmerge as a formletter and then when you execute it, select email as the
destination of the mailmerge. You will then be asked to nominate the field
in the data source that contains the email addresses.

If you do want to send an attachment with the emailed formletters, see the
article "Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" at
