Email Mail Merge problem
Hi
I was wondering if anyone can help? At work I use MSWord 2002 and MSOutlook 2003 and frequently use it for email mail merges sucessfully. At home I have MSword 2002 and Outlook 2002 and have found a really frustrating problem. In word when I select tools and then letters and mailings and then mail merge wizard the first stage of the wizard asks 'What type of document are you working on' - the list is the same as the one on my work computer except it does not have 'email messages' as an option. I was wondering if anyone can help. I have checked that outlook is my default email system on my home PC but that has not made a difference. When I look the help option it says my system must have a MAP Icompatibel email programme such as outlook - which I do have so I was wondering if somehow word is not detecting this? Any help gratefully recieved as this is driving me crazy! -- sally Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |

You may find the merge toolbar more useful than the wizard - see
http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_lab...th_word_xp.htm As for the lack of the e-mail option, if you are unable to merge with Outlook to e-mail, check that your win.ini file (in the Windows folder) contains the following section [Mail] MAPI=1 CMCDLLNAME32=mapi32.dll CMCDLLNAME=mapi.dll CMC=1 MAPIX=1 MAPIXVER=1.0.0.1 -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org sally r via OfficeKB.com wrote: Hi I was wondering if anyone can help?
