My HTML emails are not being sent in Word
Help! I am trying to do a mail merge with Word 2003 and Outlook Express 2003
to send out some emails. Everything seems to be fine, and I have already sent one test email which, when I selected the plain text option, worked fine. However, all the formatting disappears when you use the plain text, so I tried to send the same email in the same way, except I selected the HTML option. Nothing happens, no email is sent or received and no error message appears so I am at a loss as to what to do to correct it. I would prefer to send an HTML email because it looks better with formatting. If anyone has got any tips about how to correct this probem, please let me know! Thanks very much. |

Currently Word cannot mail merge in html format. This is no bad thing as you
have no control over how messages are viewed by the recipients and many users will have their e-mail systems set to display only plain text, as html is a ripe carrier for rogue code, so the formatting will be lost on them. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Leila West wrote: Help!

Word can only use HTML format if you are using Outlook, not Outlook Express,
and even then you will need a recent version of Outlook, preferably the one that matches your version of Word or some features will not be available.
