Mail Merge Hang
The only idea I have is that you need to provide more details about what
you're doing, what you expect to happen, and what is happening instead. Word and Windows versions would be helpful, too. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "MILO" wrote in message ... Anyone have any ideas regarding mail merge hang? |

Mail Merge Hang
XP SP3
Office 2k7 all SP and hotfixes installed. Mail merger = email Recip = from outlook fire off merge it'll start going and hang at random times. It'll blast out 20 or so hang peg the CPU the only way to fix it is to kill the process. I've tried other machines the same problem. 2K3 work flowlessly, 2K7 has issues but I can't find any solutions???? TIA "Suzanne S.

Mail Merge Hang
Assuming you are merging to HTML, a number of people have experienced this
problem and it has been reported to Microsoft. There has been a suggestion that If you can merge to plain text format, you should be OK, but will of course see the security alerts. If merging to plain text works OK, it may be worth trying to merge to HTML again. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "MILO" wrote in message ...

Mail Merge Hang
Peter:
Thank you for the reply. I've been having this problem for a very long time. I've posted here before, googled like crazy and never found a solution. You're the first to say that the problem has been reported to MS. It's so intermittent. I used the same doc last week and the merge to 700+ emails worked fine! Yesterday I changed three words in the same doc, used the exact same list and it hangs at 20 some odd at a shot. rantVery Frustrating, it should work the same way every time /rant "Peter Jamieson" wrote: Assuming you are merging to HTML, a number of people have experienced this problem and it has been reported to Microsoft.

Mail Merge Tool kit, I just installed it! The merge ran as it should 486 email in 4 min. NO HANG!!!!!! Would love to know what changes the tool kit makes to office 2K7????

Mail Merge Hang
Yes, that is interesting. I don't know which approach MapiLabs uses to make
their addon work (I can think of a few theoretical possibilities): to affect Word's ordinary merge-to-email, I'd expect that Mapilab would have to alter the standard MAPI installation in some way, but that may well be incorrect. But good for them! -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "MILO" wrote in message ...
