MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / January 2005Email MailMerge with Word using Excel database
I'm using Office XP. I opened Word for MailMerge, an Excel database for the name and email address, and the MailMerge Wizard. I went through all the steps, everything seemed to work well, but when I got to the last step and hit Electronic Mail to merge to Outlook it appeared to merge. However, each time I looked i my Outlook outbox nothing was there. I have Outlook set to use Word and set the format for HTML. With those settings nothing happened. However, if I set Outlook to not use Word and set for plain text it would merge, but only allow one email at a time after a little pop up message cautioned that another program was trying to use this. This was very combersome and defeated to purpose of using MailMerge. Any ideas? You can avoid the pop up message by using the Express Click Yes utility mentioned in the opening part of the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/MergeWithAttachments.htm  SignaturePlease respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.
