Hi
I need to do a mail merge to deliver an e-mail to our personnel.
Problem is the variable data for the letter is in a excel worksheet it shows
the 3 columns as:
[old salary scale]  [new salary scale] [ staff number}
I need it to pull the individdual data from here to insert in the mail merge
letter.

I then need to e-mail in a mass mailing but all the email addresses are
stored in the  Outlook 2002 global address book. I can only call up the
contacts folder.
It seems I need to use the 2 data sources or try and get the Global address
book into the excel doc.
Can anyone please advise a way to go on this I am desperate!
Thanks

Word cannot use two data sources simultaneously. The only solution I can
think of is to export the names and addresses from Outlook to an Excel
compatible file and combine it with the existing excel data in a single
sheet.
