Default Merging Email - option not available

NB, sending via HTML does not work with OE6, or, as far as I know, with any
other e-mail program except the full Outlook.

The message was sent and received when I sent in plain text.

| OK, so know we know that sending an email from Word is working. Try
sending
| a test mailmerge message with the Mail format box set to Plain text.

| Sorry - Yes, I did just send a test email to myself by filling in the
| address
| from FileSend and the message arrived as I had created it.

| | The purpose of asking you to try using FileSend was just to test if
a
| | message was then sent and received. It was not intended to be a
| suggestion
| | of the way to perform your desired task.

| | OK - I did not literally send from the file menu in Word - the
article
| I
| | referred to never mentions doing that. However, I did just try
that
| and
| | basically it then wants me to fill in the email address and it has
no
| | option to
| | merge the data file with the document. If I was going to do that,
I'd
| just
| | send
| | individual messages which is what I was trying to avoid - that and
| sending
| | it
| | bcc. I've pretty much decided that this won't work and I'm trying
| another
| | software, but thanks for your help.

| | | That does not sound like the correct answer to the question.
With
| | documnet
| | | open in Word, select Send from the File menu and complete the
steps
| that
| | | then appear and see if the mail item so generated is sent.

| | | Yes - I created the document, selected the email recipient
from a
| data
| | | file
| | | imported from excel file, basically followed through all the
steps
| | from
| | | the
| | | "Answer Box" article "Send email messages to a group using
mail
| merge
| | in
| | | Word",
| | | and "sent" the email. It never arrived.

| | | | When you say a test email, do you mean using Send from the
File
| menu
| | in
| | | | Word?

| | | | Thank you.
| | | |
| | | | I did do that and got the email option to reveal, created
a
| test
| | | email,
| | | | and made
| | | | several attempts to send the message to myself.
Unfortunately,
| I
| | never
| | | | received
| | | | it, so that's another issue that I need to resolve. Any
| | suggestions as
| | | to
| | | | what I
| | | | try next?
| | | |
| | | | Appreciate your help..

| | | | | I am trying to use merge to email using Outlook Express
6
| and
| | Word
| | | 2003
| | | | | following how to on Answer Box but the option to merge
to
| | email
| | | not
| | | | | available in
| | | | | Word. Found instructions on editing the registry to
| accomplish
| | | this
| | | | but
| | | | | when I
| | | | | tried to import the file created on notepad, it said
it
| was
| | not a
| | | | registry
| | | | | file
| | | | | despite the fact that I saved it with the .reg
extension.
| | | | |
| | | | | Thanks for any advice on the subject.
