In the data source, you need one field that contains the email addresses of
each recipient. You create the mailmerge main document in the same way as
normal, then at the point when you select the destination of the merge
(Printer, New Document or Email), if you select the Email option, you will
then get a dialog that asks you for the name of the field that contains the
email addresses.

Thank you. So it is pretty much the same as Word 2002/3 then - but now I
need to know how to automate the process, as the system we use does
unattended merges throughout the day - at present it works fine at producing
letters without any user interaction - could this be accomplished with an
email merge? I know you can download an app to click 'Yes' to any dialog
boxes in Word, but how can Word know to send it to an email in the first
place without you clicking on anything?
TIA

Take a look at how it is done in the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with
Attachments" at
