MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / October 2004How to add Mail Merge Field to Email Subject Line
I wish to sent a Form Letter, which has been setup with Mail Merge Fields, to my clients by Email, and have ther First Name automatically insterted in the Subject Line. Using a modification of the technique in the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/MergeWithAttachments.htm you could do that. You would include the First Name in the catalog type mailmerge and grab it from the cell in which it is located so that it appears in the subject line.

To clarify my requirement. I am using Word 2000 and Outlook 2000, running under Small Businesss Server 2000. I wish to send a brief message to my Clients, NOT an attachement, with embedded Mail Marge Fields. This I have done successfully, but NOT with say the recipients First Name in the Subject line. However, thanks for your prompt reply. > Using a modification of the technique in the article "Mail Merge to E-mail > with Attachments" at [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > in > > the Subject Line. As I said, the procedure will need modification! (a) So that it does not add attachments (b) So that it picks up the recipients First Name for the catalog mailmerge for use as the subject of each email that is sent out. If you do not want to modify that procedure, you will have to write your own. SignaturePlease respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.
