As far as I can tell, AOL lets you send e-mail using an e-mail client that
can work with the SMTP standard for sending mail. Most e-mailers can do that, including Outlook Express (which comes free with Internet Explorer) and the full Outlook, for example. So you could certainly try following AOL's instructions for setting up an account in either of those programs, then try merging. Although any program that implements the necessary MAPI interfaces could in theory be used to merge to email from Word, in my experience hardly any of them except Outlook and Outlook Express do so. (several implement a MAPI interface but not enough to work with Merge). Further, only Outlook lets you send HTML format mail, and both Outlook and Outlook Express pop up security-related prompts when you merge to email (for Outlook, see http://www.contextmagic.com/express-clickyes/ for a workaround) Peter Jamieson "J" wrote in message ...
