The Data key can be corrupted even without SP1, of course :-)
If deleting it does work for you, that could prove to be a really useful
piece of information.

darn - ran diagnositics yesterday - didn't help.
Don't have SP1 installed - heard too much scary stuff about it to jump in
yet.
I will read the link and see if that helps.

FWIW it does work here (Office 2007 SP1)
Unfortunately this problem is not unknown, even on those old versions,
but I have never been able to find the underlying cause. The thing that
seems to fix the largest number of problems in this area is to do a
check and repair (i.e. Office button-[Program] Options-Resources-run
Microsoft Office Diagnostics)
Also, if you've just moved to SP1 it seems I am not the only one who has
had to save and delete Word's Data key in the registry to get some
things to work again (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm ).

Hi MVP's. I'm a little desperate to get this working. I have been
doing and teaching this for years on all older version so why can't I
make it work on 2007?
Here's what I do:
Open Outlook (leave Word closed) and select certain Contacts ( group by
State, then Category go get the batch I want)
Tools | Mailmerge
Choose Merge to email | Type a subject | OK - Word starts up
Use the Insert merge fields button to get to Outlook's data fields and
pop them in
Finish and Merge | Send email messages.
Nothing happens. No emails sent. No messages on screen.
This exact sequence has worked on all previous versions. I leave it
with all the default settings eg Selected Contacts and HTML. I click
ONLY what's described above. Honest.
