How do you change the from: in a email mail merge? I want to do a large email
blast on my outlook using my boss' email address. When dealing directly with
Outlook, I can just change from, but is it possible to do that through Word
on a mail merge?
I am using Microsoft Office Word 2003

I don't have Outlook 2003 anymore... but, is there an option to show the
From field in the View menu? (In Outlook 2007, the option is in the Options
ribbon tab.)

Oops. Sorry about that. I was reading from a different email when I
"answered" this, and didn't notice that you were using Word for composing
the email.

It would seem like an easy solution would be to use Outlook itself for those
emails from your boss' email address.

I don't have Word 2003/Outlook 2003 to test anymore... but in Word 2007,
when the email headers are displayed, there is an Options dropdown that has
From on it. I'd be amazed if there weren't something equivalent in Word
2003.

You will need to setup the e-mail account you wish to merge from as the
default for the duration of the merge.
