Default mail merging formatted content

I am trying to learn how to use this. How do I start a new thread? I have
a question about mail merge, but I don't even know how to start a thread in
order to ask it. Can you please tell me how to start a new thread.

My question about mail merge is: I writing a directory on names an address
with two columns per page. I want the name to be followed by the address,
but some adresses have two line to them. Therefore the names don't alsways
match up on both columns. I think I need it to add an extra blank line for
the names that have one address line. How do I do that?

I am using Outlook 2000 SR1 and Word 2000 SR1.

I have an email message that I need to send to everyone in my
contacts folder. So I tried Mail Merge. The body of my
message contains some formatted text and also few images. I
changed my Outlook's Mail Format as HTML and MSWord as my email
editor. When I send the messages through mail merge, the
receiver's mail is in plain text. I also tried "Includepicture" field for images. Still don't work with mail merge.

But, when I send a mail individually to them, the receiver
receives the mail in HTML format.

I also checked the recipient's property "Send email using plain
text only" and it is checked OFF.

Can some one please suggest me how to mail merge the formatted contents?
