Mailmerge object . Don't include a "body" property ?

[tf]

Hello,

how to have something like
.body="my personalized text" ?

with the mergemail object ?

It exists but with the outlook object, I think.
I don't want to use this latter.


Thank you
T.

What it does :
cut a big giant file in as many files as there are pages
and send each page to its own customer

But : Where to put the ".body" equivalent and what code
does this ?

It makes me ...00@!!
---------------------------------
My code is :


For Each afield In ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.DataFields
Selection.WholeStory
With ActiveDocument.MailMerge
.Destination = wdSendToEmail
.SuppressBlankLines = True
.MailSubject = "My subject is _____"
With .DataSource
.FirstRecord = ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.ActiveRecord
.LastRecord = ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.ActiveRecord


End With
.Execute Pause:=False
End With

ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.ActiveRecord = wdNextRecord
Next afield

It is not possible to do this with only the "mailmerge" object ?
(adding a customized body such as .body="my text")




Thank you

No, mail merge isn't really email-related. Given this requirement

cut a big giant file in as many files as there are pages
and send each page to its own customer

I'd say:
- In the big document, select each page and assign it a bookmark
name, the name should correspond to an entry in the data source,
unique to each customer

- In the mail merge, use an IncludeText field. For the "range",
insert the mergefield that will carry the bookmark name.
(IncludeText is what you get when you use Insert/File with a link.)
