MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / November 2006email picture
Here is my dilema.I created a word template for an email merge. When I send the template the pictures show up with dots. However the original template pictures are fine. What am I doing wrong? Thank you > Here is my dilema.I created a word template for an email merge. When I send > the template the pictures show up with dots. However the original template > pictures are fine. What am I doing wrong? > Thank you Do you have your Show/Hide on? It's the button that looks like a backward P on the toolbar. It's right before the Zoom box. Click on that, and those dots, non-printing characters, will go away. sorry, but that didn't solve it. There are these little dots all over the pictures. It has to be in the way I set up the template or the way I'm sending it because the original is fine the problem is the way it looks after I'm sending it. Any other ideas? > > Here is my dilema.I created a word template for an email merge. When I send > > the template the pictures show up with dots.

Have you tried www.mvps.org? Did you check the printer? The templates are perfect but sending is the problem, maybe it's the output. "www.mvps.org" that is a nice webpage... thanks for your help with this, GreyGoose > > Here is my dilema.I created a word template for an email merge.

Can you experiment with whichever method you are /not/ using? Off the top of my head I would guess that if you are merging to HTML, either the merge process or your e-mail client (presumably Outlook) is modifyig the images, perhaps "downgrading" the resolution. It could be something to do with the receiving e-mail client but I think that's unlikely in this case. Peter Jamieson > Here is my dilema.I created a word template for an email merge.

What am I doing wrong? > Thank you Well, I tried more HTML so far... attachment won't work either. This is just really strange. All other emails are fine except when I try to merge them. You might be right about the "downgrading" ... I'll try changing some settings around. Thanks a lot for your input!!!! > Are you merging to an HTML email, or merging as an attachment?

But I don't know for sure. Peter Jamieson > Well, I tried more HTML so far... attachment won't work either. This is > just [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >> > pictures are fine.

I saved the template as RTF First and then when you get to the part where you are asked to Select Recipient I selected Start From existing document. So that did it for me ... I think... but I also changed some other settings too ... but I think that's what did it.
