I am trying to send out a personalized email via a Word
2002 mail merge.  My Excel 2002 spreadsheet has three
columns-- Name, Email and Web_Address.  I would like to
add the hyperlinked web_address merge field to the body of
the email message, but no matter what I do, the link
isn't "hot".  Could someone please explain how I activate
a hyperlink on a merged field with the URL contained in
the Excel spreadsheet?

P.S.  I've found a couple of KB articles about Hyperlinks
in mail merge, but they say the problem was resolved with
SP2 and I have SP3.

Thanks in advance!

Are you inserting the hyperlink information into a Hyperlink
field in Word?
