Is there a way to change the default destination of the mail merge output
when using Word to create mass emails.
By default the Word Mail Merge sends the emails through Outlook immediately
upon execution of the mail merge.

I need the merge results placed in the Outlook Drafts folders where I can
edit them and add attachments prior to executing the actual "send".

Can this be controlled with sendings or VBA Macro?

Thanks for any help

See the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" at

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/MergeWithAttachments.htm

While that will not send them to the Draft Folder, it will allow you to edit
the letters and add attachments

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my

Thanks Doug - This should automate a large part of my efforts.
I'm already using Clickyes and this will mean that I only have a problem if
a final review and approval of the message is required prior to the SEND
being executed.

I appreciate your willingness to help others out.

Just tell Outlook not to send messages immediately and they will all sit in
the Outbox where you can do what you want with them until you are ready to
send them.
