excel to word mail merge security annoyances
Im using Office 2000 Suite with SP03. I have an excel spread sheet I use to
mail merge a list of newspaper/magazine contacts to press releases. Because publishers prefer electronic files, I tried to mail merge to email. This worked, but there is a security safeguard that is driving me nuts!! When I click merge, I first get a message that says another program (Word) is trying to send email using outlook and whether that is OK or not. I select allow access for ## minutes based on how long I expect the merge to take and click YES. Then, I get ANOTHER popup that asks if its OK to send the message. And there is a FIVE SECOND delay before I can click yes. When I have to click YES up to 30 times to send a group of press releases to their proper destinations, it is annoying and troublesome. Yes, I did try to do a merge through outlook. My database is so big, it takes a long time to get stuff through that way, too. Plus, it took me months to get the Excel Spreadsheets organized just the way I want them. Is there a way to temporarily disable this security feature while I am sending press releases? |

Hi ?B?U3RydW5rV3JpdGVy?=,
Im using Office 2000 Suite with SP03. I have an excel spread sheet I use to mail merge a list of newspaper/magazine contacts to press releases. Because publishers prefer electronic files, I tried to mail merge to email. This worked, but there is a security safeguard that is driving me nuts!! When I click merge, I first get a message that says another program (Word) is trying to send email using outlook and whether that is OK or not. I select allow access for ## minutes based on how long I expect the merge to take and click YES. There's a tool out there you can use to circumvent this. http://www.express-soft.com/mailmate/clickyes.html Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |
