Running the following macro over the result of the mail merge will convert
the email addresses back to "hot links"

Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
Do While .Execute(FindText:="[+0-9A-z._-]{1,}\@[A-z.]{1,}", _
MatchWildcards:=True, Wrap:=wdFindStop, Forward:=True) = True
Selection.Hyperlinks.Add Selection.Range, Selection.Text
Selection.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
Loop
End With

When merging cells containin active hyperlinks for email to a word
document
the links are not merged as hot links. Is there a way to designat the
merge
code to retain the hot link for the email address or some other way to
keep
these active?
