Hi Rab,
Word 2000 doesn't support email merge to HTML format. Only plain text, or
attachments. You need to either upgrade to Word 2002 or use a third-party
application to do email merges. You should find some listed at

I have Office 2002 and when I exicute an email merge from Outlook it converts my email to Plain Text. I have my default email type set to HTML but the mail merge still converts it to Plain Text. When I exicute the merge from Word it runs through the contacts I have selected but it does not actually create the emails.
How can I perform a email merge between Outlook 2002 and Word 2002 and have the email created as HTML?
