Mail Merge with OL 2003

[Sastry]

I wish to do a mail merge using Word XP and Outlook 2003.
OL 2003 says it needs Word of the same version to be
installed. Is there a workarouond to this?

Best regards,
Sastry

Hi Sastry,

Not for direct mail merge. But in the File menu of Outlook
you can EXPORT the Contact data to an Excel or text file,
then use that as the data source. It's an extra step, I
know...

BTW, just out of curiousity, why didn't you upgrade to Word
2003, as well?
