EMail Merge with Office 2008

[BatteryJim]

This is a repeat posting from the Entourage Board:

Last Spring, I had no problems doing an email merge using the document from
Word, addresses from Excel and Entourage as my mailer.

However, I just went to do one now, and the email option no longer seems to
exist. When I go into Mail Merge Manager and get the pop-up dialogue box,
there's no longer any option for email when I'm asked for a document type. I
did have that option a few months ago.

Does anyone know what happened or if my Word somehow got corrupted? I did
have a new hard drive installed last month and I had to restore all my
programs and documents via Time Machine. Entourage is my default email
application.

Any thoughts or alternatives would be greatly appreciated.

See my reply in the Entourage newsgroup. Please do not create two separate
posts in two separate newsgroups; this makes it more difficult for everyone
to answer your question or to follow up on it.

At the very least, cross-post rather than posting separate messages. I'd
think that would have been appropriate in this case.

To cross-post, put both newsgroup names in the To: header. That way,
when a reply is given, both groups will find out.

Even better, cross-post with follow-up set to one group or the other
(put a follow-up notice in the body).
