Microsoft Office Word Email

[Dickie]

I resently purchased and intalled Microsoft Office Word (MOW) 2007. I'm not
sure what additional software I needed in order to send emails with MOW 2007.
Specifically, I can't access email addresses from any of my other email
websites to use in the MOW 2007 Mail Merge process.

As far as I know Word 2007 is the same as previous versions in these
respects, i.e. if you have Outlook 2007 there are a couple of built-in ways
to get addresses (starting from Outlook 2007 is generally best) but
otherwise, you have to export your addresses into a format Word can use
(unless you can do something like link an Access table to your address
book). As for merging to e-mail, the e-mail client has to be MAPI-compliant,
and for HTML merges, a specific MAPI interface is required that means that
in practice only Outlook does it. For non-HTML, Outlook Express works OK,
don't know about Windows Mail in Vista, some other e-mail clients work in
whole or in part depending on their MAPI support.

Like others, the email mail merge doesn't seem to work!?!?! I'm using
Outlook so that's not an issue. My data list has correct email addresses.
The email body has the email field.

When I send it says that its done...but I don't have a 'sent' email in my
folder list nor does the recipient receive the email on their end.

Any thoughts would be appreicated. Thanks! -- Hilda

To execute a mail merge to email, the email addresses must be in the
datasource.
