As you have no control over the way in which the recipient views the email,
and most astute users will have their mail program set up to view in plain
text mode, you would be advised to send the document as an attachment.
The article "Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" at:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm
provided information on how to avoid the security warning that you mention
and if you want to create the individual documents from the mailmerge, See
the "Individual Merge Letters" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at:
http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm
If you are using Word XP or later, the "Add-in to Merge Letters to Separate
Files" that I have written and that can be downloaded from that site will
allow you to create each letter as a separate file (in PDF format if
required) with a filename taken from a field in the data source with a
minimum of fuss.

Dear Peter Jamieson
In answer to your reply, I have checked the Outlook
Tools|Options|Other|Advanced Options|COM Addins, and there was nothing
in there. I don't know exactly what should be in that option, but in
that option no information was in there. The strange about it is that
at college it works as it should, but both at work and home, it just
doesn't.
Thanks for your reply, and I am sorry I took long to reply to you. The
reason for such is that I am new to these things and I thought I would
be informed by email that someone has replied to me!
If you have any ideas about my current problem, let me know!
Many thanks
Garmen
