Email merge crashing at errors
I'm using office/outlook 2007 and sending an email to a large list. Word
freezes and i have to restart every so often and i've narrowed it down to when it gets an error. I have it set to "complete the merge without pausing, report errors in a new document" but it appears that it cannot open a new document or freezes when it gets an error. Do I have a setting somewhere that is preventing this? Sometimes it crashes after 2, sometimes after 15, but i'm so frustrated -- Thanks! Rebecca |

Email merge crashing at errors
A number of people have reported a general problem with merging to HTML
format mail where Word simply hangs at some point. I haven't been able to replicate it myself. Various theories have ben proposed and Microsoft has logged a bug report for the issue. However, because of this... i've narrowed it down to when it gets an error I wonder whether you are experiencing a slightly different problem, or whether in fact by doing this complete the merge without pausing, report errors in a new document" you are seeing something that others have missed. Are you able to see any type of specific error info - is Word recording it in a new document? -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "becca.raider" wrote in message ...

Email merge crashing at errors
I think that's where it gets hung up. Unless it's reporting it in a document
somewhere that I don't see. It never gives me an error message, just freezes until I end the program. When it freezes, the window become inactive, but the office icon is active and a new frame but that's it. Then the cursor is the hour glass until i end the task. Hope this helps. If I'm not having the same problem as the rest and anyone has an insight, it's much appreciated. Thanks!
