Hyperlink in an e-mail merge

[Tracy]

I am trying to do an e-mail merge in Word. Everything
looks fine in the actual document. Hyperlinks for e-mail
addresses and web site are present and I choose my data
soure and click on merge to e-mail. HTML is selected as
the type of document to be sent. I checked my
outlook "options" and I send and receive in HTML. When I
merge the data and the document is actually sent, the
links have all been removed in the message.

If I send a regular message in outlook (non-merge) and I
type in the web address in the text, send it, the
hyperlink is maintained

How do I keep these links present in the actual merged e-
mail

Hi Tracy,

You need Word XP SP2 for the hyperlinks to be preserved in the email.

Thanks so much for the reply. I have Word 2002 and I was
really surprised when that function didn't work. I was
working all day trying to get it to work and actually
learned a lot about other functions in the process. Is
the e-mail merge a relatively new feature because I
assumed it should work? So I guess I am out of luck in
that regard. Thanks again. Tracy

Hi Tracy,

Word 2002 is the same as Word XP, and you can download Service Pack 2 (SP2)
from:
