When I use the Mail merge toolbox and select email, no template appears (as
the online training course says it should, automatically). How do I activate
this for use so that I can set up email mail merges?

You're probably better off using a formletter type mailmerge main document
and then executing the merge to email.

When you execute a formletter type mailmerge, there are three possible
destinations:

Printer
New Document
Email

If you select Email as the destination, a dialog box will be displayed from
which you select the merge field that contains the email address for each
recipient.
