MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / October 2007Changing "From" field in Microsoft Mail Merge
Hi - I saw that this question was posted by someone several years ago, but didn't see any answer. I have done several mail merges in Outlook and have become comfortable with it. However, I want to be able to have these emails go from a shared email folder that I have access to send emails from. No matter what I do, when I complete a mail merge, the emails always are sent from my main email address. Does anyone know how I can change the "From" field in the email to my other email folder? At the end of the merge, it asks for the "To" and "Subject" info, but there is nowhere to change the "From". It's driving me crazy and I can't imagine it's not impossible to do??????? Help??!! Change the default e-mail account to the one you wish to use for the duration of the merge.

I should mentioned that I am running on Microsoft Exchange Server and I can send emails "on behalf" of another email address. I want to e-mail merge and send from that particular email address. Can that be set as a default for the "From" address field? > How do you change the default e-mail account? > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > > info, but there is nowhere to change the "From".

You will need to login to the mail system as the user in whose name you wish the messages to be sent. SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Help??!! Mmm. I don't beleive there is a password for the name I wish to send messages from. It's actually a generic email address shared by 5 of us. I will have to get my IT guys to help to set that up. > There is no provision in Word to do that.

Help??!! Something you could try: if you use an approach such as the one Doug Robbins describes at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/MergeWithAttachments.htm then I think you can specify the "Send As" mailbox by specifying objMailItem.SentOnBehalfOfName = "the mailbox name you want to use" What happens then depends on what permissions the Exchange Admin. has give to the currently logged in User. If they have permission to Send on Behalf As, the mail is sent out with a "Sent on behalf of" address. If they have permission to Send As, it goes out as if it was from the specified user.
