First Mail Merge - Everything great, but no Merge to Electronic Ma
Hi, I'm trying a merge for the first time using Word 2003 (intent is the
equivalent of a bulk email mailing - count too high for a bulk list). Following an online script from Office Online. Everything's great, Outlook Contacts selected, Letter written with inserts. Previews look good. Where I'm stuck is in sending the Test Message. I select Electronic Mail, and then "current record". But it then prompts me with a field chooser for the "to" line, which I don't understand. If I select "email_address", it then says "Microsoft Office has found more than one mailto:". I thought I told Office the email address when I selected the Contact. Clearly I'm missing something. Please help & Thanks, David -- XP Pro SP3, Office 2003 Standard Edition for Students & Teachers, Outlook 2003 for Students & Teachers |

The merge to e-mail tool will attempt to select the field that contains the
e-mail address. That field may only contain one e-mail address. If you want to merge fields that contain more than one address, you will need the assistance of third party software such as MAPILab's Mailmerge toolkit add-in for Outlook http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/mail_merge/ -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org DNDELL wrote: Hi, I'm trying a merge for the first time using Word 2003 (intent is the equivalent of a bulk email mailing - count too high for a bulk list).

The email addresses to which you want to send the mail must be in one of the
fields in your data source and it is that field that you must select when you are prompted with a "field chooser for the "to" line" To send a test message, you have the option of sending a message to the Current record or using the From: and To: controls to specify the record number(s) to which you want the test to be sent. -- Hope this helps.
