How do I get a picture to email using merge?
I cannot get a picture included with text to send using email merge. The
text is being sent without the picture. I can copy the document into Outlook Express and it mails ok. Just not when I send using email merger. |

How do I get a picture to email using merge?
Word merge to e-mail can only do:
a. merge to a plain text message that is sent as the body of the e-mail b. merge to an attachment c. merge to HTML format, but that is only possible if the e-mail client supports the necessary interface with Word. As far as I'm aware, only the full Outlook does that, and merge to HTML may not work with anything in fully up-to-date patched versions of Word. In other words, (b) is the only option for e-mailing documents with pictures via OE using MailMerge. You might be able to do something by merging to a document, splitting the output into multiple Word files, then opening them one by one and sending them. Not sure if that is feasible, but splitter macros are frequently referenced or posted in this group, and there is more info about automating sending to e-mail at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/InterDev/SendMail.htm Peter Jamieson "Vern1412" wrote in message ...

How do I get a picture to email using merge?
The problem is that the fields in the document are not being updated when
you execute to email. If you were to use Outlook rather than Outlook Express, you could use the information in the following article to sent the picture as an attachment to the email "Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm Alternatively, you would have to execute the merge to a new document and then separate that document into individual documents and email them. Once again, if you are using Outlook, this could be automated. If it's only a one off and not too many to deal with, it may just be easier to do it manually, though the information in "Individual Merge Letters" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at: http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm could be used to split the document. -- Hope this helps.
