how to e-mail merge and retain formatting
How can I use mail merge and retain the formatting?
I have a Word document that has different fonts, Bold, Underline etc. Upon merging all of the fields become properly populated and look exactly as they should while still in Word, however, once I select "Merge to e-mail" there are only 3 options for Mail Format: Attachment, Plain Text and HTML. HTML does nothing as far as I an tell. Attachment sends the Word document from Outlook as a perfectly formatted attachment (not what I want). Plain text merges the letter into the body of the e-mail but without any formatting. I'd like the e-mail merged into the body of the e-mail with formatting. Also of note is that my signature in Outlook is not included with the e-mail, but I'd like it to be. Any suggestions? Thanks! |

how to e-mail merge and retain formatting
If you're using a recent version of Word and the same version of the full
Outlook (e,.g Word 2003 and Outlook 2003) you should be able to merge to HTML. However, I have also heard reports that it no longer works in some cases. As things stand you certainly cannot merge using HTML format to any other e-mail client including Outlook Express.
