Im trying to send a standard Word Document to a list of recipients that I
have saved in table format in Excel but after going through all the relevant
steps and click on finish, 'Send email message' isn't available for me to
click on. Any Ideas?

What mail program are you using?

With an ordinary document, is the Send item available on the File menu?

If it is not available, see if the article of the following page of fellow
MVP Peter Jamieson's website helps

If the File>Send To command is available, possibly the wizard is confusing
you, so from the View menu, select Toolbars and check the Mail Merge item.
The Mail Merge toolbar that will appear has a button towards the right hand
end for executing the merge to email.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
thanks for your reply. I followed the link and did as i was told but still
no avail ! Im using Windows Mail, Version 6 if that means anything to you?
I dont know if it matters but ive got Windows Vista Home Edition.
And nope, the normal send button isnt available for me to click on. Ive
tried defaulting the Windows mail but nothing is happening.

Any more ideas?

Thank you

Email merges from Word require Outlook as your default mail program.
