Mailmerge field as URL

[M Dixon]

I am merging an Excel datasheet into a Word doc to send out as an e-mail. I need one of the fields to be a hyperlink with different addresses for different recipients. I can merge the text value of the URL as a field, but I can not get Word to recognize it as a hyperlink.

Version of Word?

See my reply to Nick Giacobe from yesterday, posted to his
original question from Nov. 10 "Mail Merge - Cannot get URL
to Merge"

Also take a look at his discussion with Peter Jamieson.
