Merging Email - option not available
I am trying to use merge to email using Outlook Express 6 and Word 2003
following how to on Answer Box but the option to merge to email not available in Word. Found instructions on editing the registry to accomplish this but when I tried to import the file created on notepad, it said it was not a registry file despite the fact that I saved it with the .reg extension. Thanks for any advice on the subject. |

Thank you.
I did do that and got the email option to reveal, created a test email, and made several attempts to send the message to myself. Unfortunately, I never received it, so that's another issue that I need to resolve. Any suggestions as to what I try next? Appreciate your help..

When you say a test email, do you mean using Send from the File menu in
Word? -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "g collins" wrote in message ...

Yes - I created the document, selected the email recipient from a data file
imported from excel file, basically followed through all the steps from the "Answer Box" article "Send email messages to a group using mail merge in Word", and "sent" the email. It never arrived.

open in Word, select Send from the File menu and complete the steps that then appear and see if the mail item so generated is sent. -- Hope this helps.

Merging Email - option not available
OK - I did not literally send from the file menu in Word - the article I
referred to never mentions doing that. However, I did just try that and basically it then wants me to fill in the email address and it has no option to merge the data file with the document. If I was going to do that, I'd just send individual messages which is what I was trying to avoid - that and sending it bcc. I've pretty much decided that this won't work and I'm trying another software, but thanks for your help.

Merging Email - option not available
Well, that's disappointing...
