This problem has been reported before but I'm asking around to see if anyone
knows what its status is, as it is possible that it has been fixed. (It will
probably take at least several days even to get a response on this).
Meanwhile,
a. do you keep Office fully up-to-date via Windows/Microsoft update or
another mechanism?
b. can you please provide the full Word version details as reported in
Word-Office Button-Word Options-Resources-About ?
c. others have reported that the following things may help:
- save your mail merge main document before you start the merge
- save the mail merge main document as a Word 97-2003 compatible
document (old .doc format) before you start the merge
- both of the above, and ensure that no "Word 2007" format documents are
open when you start the merge (i.e. .docx/.dotm etc.)
- (and although I cannot recommend it, some people report that relaxing
the Word VBA security settings may make a difference. That could well be
true, but I have to say I doubt that it is a factor in this case)

Thanks!
I did move up to the more expensive commercial packages where Port 25 -as
they explained to me- is opened. I was told I could send 500 emails max a
day
which is more than enough for my needs.
Then I was able to do the Mailings for two or three months, no problem. It
just started acting up.
I will call the IPS provider thought and see if they can help me -
Thanks for your time and help...

Nityeshwari,
Check with your ISP/Mail service, they may limit the number of recipients
on
a single message, or the amount of bandwidth you can send using your
email
account per event or day. Many limit to 25 or less, the number of
recipients
you can have on a single message.
You may have to upgrade to one of their commercial packages.

Which Word version?
What *exactly* are your trying to do and at *exactly* what point does it
stop?
What do you mean by "Word just won't save the recipients to Outlook"? Are
you trying to merge to e-mail?

Hi! I use Windows Vista Home Premium - From one day to the next, Word
stops responding when I attempt to do mass Mailings - it just stops!
Has anybody experienced this problem? Word just won't save the
recipients to Outlook and it is very frustrating.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
