I was able to send html script (links) in my word mailmerge in 2003. With
2007 it doesn't want to send. After 25 it stops merging. Is this the
problem you were having?

Peter,
Thanks for checking this out. I guess that I'll have to live with it.
Happy new year!

In 2007 it seems to forget the setting for the document whatever format
you save in.
Incidentally, this is probably because the XML schema for Word does not
have an element or attribute that lets you specify the mail format. At
least in Word 2003 WordProcessingML.

AFAICS in Word 2003 Word remembered the setting for the document, but
otherwise defaulted to HTML. A closer look tells me that that worked if
you saved as .doc but not as .htm or .xml. In 2007 it seems to forget the
setting for the document whatever format you save in.
So no, at the moment I cannot see a way to make this "sticky."

Peter,
Thanks for the info. Sending as text makes it work.
Right now my main problem is Word 2007 not remembering that I want to
send as text after I close and open Word. This was not a problem in Word
2002.

If you are trying to send HTML format e-mails they will /probably/ just
disappear because Windows Mail cannot cope with them and (AFAIK) does
not flag an error. Outlook Express does the same. With text format or
"attachment" format the emails should at least get through to the email
program.
(FWIW here I have Vista + Outlook + Windows Mail and HTML mails were
sent via Outlook even when I tried to configure things so that emails
went via Windows Mail. Plain text went via Windows Mail)

I have been using Microsoft Word 2003 for a while to do some e-mail
mail merge with Outlook Express for years. Well, I just switched over
my e-mail to my Vista machine with Office 2007. For some reason Word
does not see that Windows Mail exists and that under the "Finish and
Merge" button the "Send E-mail Messages..." button is grayed out.
I did found this article:

Now that I have done this the "Send E-mail Messages..." is not grayed
out but when I try to send something nothing happens. Windows Mail
does not seem to see that Word is trying to send an e-mail.
Anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks,
Mike
