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

| 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.
