mail merge with a link
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 |

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.

mail merge with a link
So, you are saying that I can't really do this with email. Benmat was asking
the same question I was. I thought from his reply that it had worked. Thanks for your help. "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: Read the first paragraph of the article again.

I don't know. You post appears as a response to mine. Not to one from
Benmat that I do not see. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
