Thank you
From the information in the article I understand that you must start the mail merge from inside Outlook instead of starting it from Word. In other words the Outlook option in the mail merge taskbar of Word is not working and this seems to be a flaw in the program. I'm I right? -- Ignacio Herrero "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

Yes and no - Microsoft has removed the Outlook converter for security
reasons. In any case you get far more control when starting the merge from Outlook so it is no great loss. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Ignacio Herrero wrote: Thank you From the information in the article I understand that you must start the mail merge from inside Outlook instead of starting it from Word.
