I have a merge doc that creates labels and receipts for my customers
for shipping. The data source contains the customer's email. Is there
a way to automatically (or easily) generate emails to tell my customer
their order has shipped?
Maybe...probably...not enough details...
What version of Word?
What's the data source in?
What program do you use for your email?
Would you want to email *all* the people in the data source?
I.e., it's easy enough to do a second merge with the same data source that
*just* grabs the email address and name and creates a "Dear Name, Your Order
[Merge Field Number] has been shipped" email for each entry in the data
source. (To do a merge to email from Word, you have to have Entourage set
as the default mail program in Apple's Mail.app Preferences. But you can
change it back after doing the merge to email). So if that would suit you,
we can help you work that out.
Getting a merge to figure out a subset of the data source sounds a bit
trickier.
