Default Merging Email - option not available

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.
