Default mail merge with a link

I read the article at the link below. I don't see how it applies to email
merges. Merging to a new document is not an option with email, is it? Did
you figure out how to make this work?

Thanks.

I am trying to merge to email. I want to put a link in the email that takes
the recipient to a web page. The link includes a parameter of the
recipient's
Id number so the web page knows who they are. When I include the link
field
in the word document and it sends the mail through Outlook the link shows
as
plain text, not a hyperlink. If I remove the parameters it shows properly
as
a hyperlink. I would also like the link to show as a button or simply
click
here. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
I am using Word 2003 Access 2002 on Windows XP

Thank you!

Ben
