How do I embed a webpage in Word

Hi!

I am trying to embed a webpage in word and will be using the mail merge
feature to email the webpage to about 100 family members through Oulook. I do
not want to attach the image ot the email as it will take forever for the
emails to be pushed through Outlook. I have the email address in Excel or
Access and NOT in the Outlook address book. Therefore, I need to use the Mail
Merge feature to accomplish this.

I would like the image to be brought up from the webpage to the email
message immediately as the email is opened (as so many spam emails do to save
bandwidth upon uploading outgoing emails) with working links, etc.

Any ideas how I can/if I can accomplish this?

Thanks in advance!

Brad

Word mail merge does not currently accommodate html merges.
You cannot dictate how a recipient will view your message. Anyone at all
wary of wirus attack via e-mail will have Outlook configured to display
plain text, so will not see your page anyway.
Why don't you upload the web page to your web space and send the family
members a link to it? Then those that want to see it as intended can do so.

Graham--

Thanks for the info. I was afraid of this. I have placed hyperlinks in the
emails before but I found that it is not as efficient.

How are "spammers" able to get my email program to reach out and grab an
image from a website somewhere to be displayed as an image in the email
itself? That is, ultimately, what I wish to accomplish (not being a spammer
myself, I am not sure how this is accomplished).

Any thoughts on that? Is there a special software that is needed?

Thanks again! I look forward to hearing back from you!

Afraid this is way off topic for Microsoft Word. You need a more specialised
forum.
