What version of Word supports the mail merge of an html
document with an excel spreadsheet that sends the email
through Outlook as a personalized html email? I've done it
before at a different company, but my current work station
doesn't seem to support that. I'm guessing this is a
Microsoft Office 2003 feature (I'm currently on 2000). If
anyone has info on this I'd appreciate it.

You need Word and Outlook to be at least version 2002, preferably updated to
the latest service pack. WOrd and Outlook generally need to be the same
version, and you need the full Outlook, not Outlook Express. I don't think
any other e-mail package will currently let you merge to HTML from Word.

Hi - I've done this with the 2003 versions of Word & Outlook & it works a treat. I used my Outlook contacts as the data source to send a newsletter to my customers. The only problem is that the email message isn't WYSIWYG - the newletter was formatted nicely on the main body of the viewing panel, but when printed, the headers (From:, To:, etc) and print margins spoiled the intended layout. ANyone got any ideas on how to stop this?
