Default Changing the "from" email address in a e-Mail Merge

I'm running a mail merge from Access / Excel into Word and then emailing it
out, is it possible to specify which "from" email address is used or is it
always whichever is default in Outlook?

And can I specify a different "from" email address for each record, [by
creating a field in the data source?]

Thanks for any help.

Temporarily change the default account for the duration of the merge.

Hi Graham, thanks. So is it that word will only email merge to the default OL
mail account? Because for 50% of the merge it'd be great to have a different
from email address, but changing the default mail account each time would be
too time consuming.

Word will only merge to the default account. If you need to merge some of
the records from another account, create two merges, one for each account.
It takes all of ten seconds to change the default account!
