I am trying to do a mail merge to send to my customers. It includes my
letterhead and some pictures at the bottom. If i select that i want to
do the mail merge in a letter format, everything works fine, however,
if i select the mail merge to do a email message. the pictures at the
bottom are at different spots and the words are all over the page and
the letterhead disappears. Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Brad

eMail is either plain text or html, neither of which support headers/footers
or pages and html lays out graphics differently from Word document format.
Either create your letter in web view or send it as an attachment - See the
