I was hoping that someone might be able to let me know what trick is to merge an email list to an HTML format?
I have absolutely no problem if I wished to send the merge file electronically using plain text as the Mail format but if I attempt to send the document as HTML it does nothing when I click Finish and Merge\Send E-mail Messages…\(Mail Format - HTML) OK? If anyone has an answer I would really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance. - CES

I was hoping that someone might be able to let me know what trick is to
merge an email list to an HTML format?

1. It will only work if you are using the full Outlook as your e-mail client
(i.e. it doesn't work with Outlook Express).

2. Even with Outlook, some people report "disappearing messages". In that
case, the first thing to try is an Office Check/Repair from within Outlook.

Peter I'm using Outlook 2007...
I've look under all of the menu item dropdowns but can't find an option for Check/Repair anywhere within Outlook or Office? - CES

[Peter Jamieson]

I think in 2007 you probably have to use Office Button|Outlook
Options|Resources|Diagnose to do much the same thing. Trouble is I only have
Word 2007 here so can't be sure.

I hope this helps.
I had a user ask me the same thing. After I went to their computer to
investigate I found that they weren't completely finishing the email Merge.
If you are using the Wizard on the last step (Bottom Right hand corner of
Word's email wizard) it states complete the merge. And when you click it it
appears as nothing happens. There is actually one more step (Step 6). Above
it says Merge and has a link stating Electronic Mail, Click the link. A
merge to mail window opens up and you will be able to choose the field for
To: and type a subject line and choose a mail format. (HTMLetc). Then Click
All Records and OK.

I hope this helps.
If you aren't using the wizard try it as it may uncover something you are
missing.

First, this problem has been reported before, but no-one has yet identified
the reason for the problem. I have never been able to replicate the problem
here so have never been able to report the problem properly to Microsoft
support (we're just volunteers here) but I suggest that you do so if your
software is still under warranty from them.

There's one basic check you should make: is Outlook the default Mail program
(IE Tools|Internet Options|programs) ?

There is one Microsoft KB article that says that if you have a COM Addin
called bxAutoZip (see Outlook
Tools|Options|Other|"Advanced Options"|"COM Addins") disable it temporarily.
(If you have other addins and disabling them will do no harm, I'd do that
too).

Some people seem to have got rid of the problem by checking Outlook
Tools|Options|Other|"Advanced options"|"Enable mail logging
(troubleshooting)". Then restarting.

I would also consider finding your .pst file is, making a backup copy, and
running
the SCANPST.EXE utility - on my system it's in

C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033 )

Another possibility is that this problem only occurs when the user has more
than one Outlook profile on their system. In that case I think the
suggestion is that Word is actually logging into a different profile from
the one you normally use. So you could
a. check that
b. ensure you only have one mail profile (Control Panel|Mail|Show
Profiles) and/or
c. recreate your Outlook profile (I don't have a good set of instructions
for that right now)

I have looked and MS Outlook 2007 is my default mail client. I just got my
PC with Windows Professional on it. Who would I contact to report the
problem?
--
Account Manager

[Peter Jamieson]

It depends partly on where you are and whether your version of /Office/ was
an "OEM" version - typically, preloaded on the machine, or a "retail"
version.

If it's OEM/preloaded, normally you have to seek support from the machine's
supplier. If you bought the "retail" version i would try to visit the
Microsoft support web pages (try http://support.microsoft.com ) for your
country/region. I would suggest that in this case you try to find the
appropriate support phone number. In my experience issues the "e-incident"
submission method doesn't deal with problems that involve more than one
product. FWIW in the UK I would phone support, ask for "Professional
support" and I now know who I would end up dealing with, but it looks like
you're in a different region.

I wish you luck. Please post back here if you get a resolution.

Could that be the problem? how would I fix it?

These are great suggestions, however I am having the same problem as CES
and
I cannot locate a .pst file on my system.

1. I would try the detect and repair first, if you have not doene so
already.

2. If your copy of Outlook is connected to an Exchange Server, it can be set
up in several possible ways. You'd need to ask the Outlook people for more
details, but these days, I think it would be fairly typical for your PC to
be set up in "Cached Exchange Mode", in which case it gets its data from the
Exchange Server but mirrors it in an "Offline" file which has the extension
..ost. It's also possible that you have /no/ local file containing your
messages.

3. If you have a .ost, you would need to use SCANOST instad of SCANPST. You
can find out the locaiton of the .ost by selecting your toplevel "Mailbox -
your name" item in Outlook, right-click,
Properties|General|AdvancedAdvanced|Offline Folder File Settings . If you
have some other kind of Outlook configuration, you will probably be able to
find out the name and location of any .pst using a similar approach/

4. If you can see that there /should be/ a .ost or .pst but cannot find it
using search or Windows Explorer, the chances are that you need to ensure
that System/Hidden items are included in the search, and/or that in Windows
Explorer Tools|Folder Options|View you have Hidden files and folders|Show
hidden files and folders selected for the relevant folder (I usually select
it for one folder, Apply, then click Apply to all folders).

Are you using Outlook or Outlook Express as the default mail program?

Did you use the Search in Windows Explorer to find a file *.pst?
