MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / May 2007Merge to Email From: Field
Hi All, Im trying to create a merge to email from an excel file, all is working fine except that I have no way to define a Custom From: Field. I dont want the emails to be replied to my personal email I want them to reply to my company's catch all email. Normally when sending an email I add it to the from: field as I have permission to send as the selected user. But there seems no way to define this when using an merge to email set up in Word, Can you help? Thanks John Set the account you want to send the messages from as the default account for the duration of the merge rather than your personal account.

Selecty the account and choose 'change' and on the user information section change your own e-mail address to the e-mail address you wish to be the default return address. Don't change anything else!!!. Run the merge then change the address back to your own.

I assume that there is a good reason that you cannot change your username or add another exchange account, etc. Do the individuals who prevent you from doing that, condone you wanting to send the emails from other than your own email address. If they do, then they are the ones preventing you from doing it and it it to them that you would need to talk. SignatureHope this helps.

I assumed there would be a simple way to do it via word. I didnt think you could add multiple exchange servers to outlook , only multiple pop3 etc servers, the address I wish to send as isnt an identity anyway, its a catch all email address, thanks John > Feel free to ask in an Outlook newsgroup, but I think you will probably > end up getting the same answers.
