Default Changing "From" field in Microsoft Mail Merge

Actually, didn't need to worry about passwords. I changed the default account
with no problems. Perfect!

Mmm. I don't beleive there is a password for the name I wish to send messages
from. It's actually a generic email address shared by 5 of us. I will have to
get my IT guys to help to set that up.

There is no provision in Word to do that. You will need to login to the
mail system as the user in whose name you wish the messages to be sent.

I should mentioned that I am running on Microsoft Exchange Server and I can
send emails "on behalf" of another email address. I want to e-mail merge
and
send from that particular email address. Can that be set as a default for
the
"From" address field?

How do you change the default e-mail account?

Change the default e-mail account to the one you wish to use for the

Hi - I saw that this question was posted by someone several years
ago,
but didn't see any answer. I have done several mail merges in
Outlook
and have become comfortable with it. However, I want to be able to
have these emails go from a shared email folder that I have access to
send emails from. No matter what I do, when I complete a mail merge,
the emails always are sent from my main email address. Does anyone
know how I can change the "From" field in the email to my other email
folder? At the end of the merge, it asks for the "To" and "Subject"
info, but there is nowhere to change the "From". It's driving me
crazy and I can't imagine it's not impossible to do??????? Help??!!
