Thanks Peter,
You may be right. I did have a heck of a time getting it to work, but I
finally had it so I could merge directly to Lotus Notes, but this was in
Office 2000. When I "upgraded" to 2003, the whole thing stopped working. The
mail merge interface wizard is gone in 2003, and I have even less control
than 2000 offered. I cannot configure the MAPI service like I could in 2000.
Now, even if I try to run Outlook I get an error: "set of folders could not
be opened..." and I can't even set up a new .pst mailbox folder. This is
extremely frustrating. I wish Microsoft had a little more concern for
compatibility when they do upgrades.

I think you're more likely to find an answer to this in a Lotus support
group. You would certainly need to make the Notes Client the default e-mail
client on your system and ensure that any MAPI support was enabled. However,
when I last tried (several years ago now) I was unable to set up Word to
merge more than one record at a time without human intervention (I think it
was to save the generated Notes e-mails). Also, you are unlikely to see any
output at all if you are merging to HTML format.

Does anyone know what I have to do to be able to use Lotus Notes as my
Mail
Service for mail merging?
