Changing "From" field in Microsoft Mail Merge
Hi - I saw that this question was posted by someone several years ago,
but didn't see any answer. I have done several mail merges in Outlook and have become comfortable with it. However, I want to be able to have these emails go from a shared email folder that I have access to send emails from. No matter what I do, when I complete a mail merge, the emails always are sent from my main email address. Does anyone know how I can change the "From" field in the email to my other email folder? At the end of the merge, it asks for the "To" and "Subject" info, but there is nowhere to change the "From". It's driving me crazy and I can't imagine it's not impossible to do??????? Help??!! |

Changing "From" field in Microsoft Mail Merge
I should mentioned that I am running on Microsoft Exchange Server and I can
send emails "on behalf" of another email address. I want to e-mail merge and send from that particular email address. Can that be set as a default for the "From" address field?

Changing "From" field in Microsoft Mail Merge
There is no provision in Word to do that. You will need to login to the
mail system as the user in whose name you wish the messages to be sent. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Changing "From" field in Microsoft Mail Merge
Mmm. I don't beleive there is a password for the name I wish to send messages
from. It's actually a generic email address shared by 5 of us. I will have to get my IT guys to help to set that up. "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: There is no provision in Word to do that.

Changing "From" field in Microsoft Mail Merge
Something you could try: if you use an approach such as the one Doug Robbins
describes at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm then I think you can specify the "Send As" mailbox by specifying objMailItem.SentOnBehalfOfName = "the mailbox name you want to use" What happens then depends on what permissions the Exchange Admin. has give to the currently logged in User. If they have permission to Send on Behalf As, the mail is sent out with a "Sent on behalf of" address. If they have permission to Send As, it goes out as if it was from the specified user. -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Bolzey" wrote in message ...
