How do I activate the Word mailmerge email template?

[David K]

When I use the Mail merge toolbox and select email, no template appears (as
the online training course says it should, automatically). How do I activate
this for use so that I can set up email mail merges?

You're probably better off using a formletter type mailmerge main document
and then executing the merge to email.

Sorry I dont understand what this means or how to execute a merge to email
from a formletter. Could you explain please?

 

[Doug Robbins - Word MVP]

When you execute a formletter type mailmerge, there are three possible
destinations:

Printer
New Document
Email

If you select Email as the destination, a dialog box will be displayed from
which you select the merge field that contains the email address for each
recipient.
