How can I get my email merge in HTML to work in Word 2007?
I have Office 2007 and Vista 64 and when I try to send an email mail merge
(in Word) in HTML the emails never go out. If I do it in Plain Text it works but pops up a security dialog box for each email. I have seen that others have had this problem, but have seen no solutions. I have both Word and Outlook 2007. I have spent a lot of time trying to search for help to no avail. |

I am sure Peter will be along later to explain the problem, but in the
meantime, see http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk/t0002.htm FWIW some users have reported that simply installing the trial version of MAPILab's Mailmerge toolkit add-in for Outlook http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/mail_merge/ resolves the issue as it sets up the environment to merge to html. You may even find you like the extra functions it provides - and no, I don't have any connection with MAPILabs. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Adrianbass wrote: I have Office 2007 and Vista 64 and when I try to send an email mail merge (in Word) in HTML the emails never go out.

I am waiting to see what Peter says, but in the meantime I installed the
Toolkit you mentioned, but when I ran the merge with it I got a Fatal Error. I have emailed their support about the error, and was frustrated that that alternative did not work.

How can I get my email merge in HTML to work in Word 2007?
The only other bit of info I have that may help was actually posted
recently by someone else (lsilverman): I haven't had an opportunity to pursue this - AFAICS at least one other person tried it without success but perhaps a bit more understanding is required. ------------------ Problem is some kind of corruption in the MAPI system. Apparently Word uses Simple MAPI for attachment and plaintext merges, but Extended MAPI for HTML merges. Anyway, the fix involves a registry edit. Find: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / Software / Microsoft / Windows Messaging Subsystem / MSMapiApps You'll see a series of programs and dll's listed as keys, and then various clients (generally "Microsoft Outlook") listed for each key. Create new entries for "word.exe" and "winword.exe" and enter "Microsoft Outlook" as the value. Should work fine after that. More details can be found in this article from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315458 Lee ------------------ Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk Adrianbass wrote: I am waiting to see what Peter says, but in the meantime I installed the Toolkit you mentioned, but when I ran the merge with it I got a Fatal Error.

Thank you Peter, I made the changes you suggested with regedit, rebooted and
tried the merge. It still did not work through the regular merge, but it finally worked using the Merge Toolkit!

How can I get my email merge in HTML to work in Word 2007?
One last post to help others. At work our technical support person knew that
I used both Outlook (for work) and another email software (Eudora for home). He told me to go to Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet Options, Programs to set Outlook as my default email. In Vista this actually takes you to a Control Panel program where you can set default programs. I set Outlook to be my default email and the next time I did an email merge through Word the HTML emails actually went out. I no longer need to use the MAPILAB kit.
