Suddenly Trouble With Email Merge

[Bailey Mom]

I have sent email merges many times over the years with
success, both with and without the Wizard, with earlier
versions of Word and my current Office XP version. All
of a sudden I am having trouble and for the life of me
cannot fathom what's causing it!

When I get to "Complete the Merge" and click
on "Electronic Mail" it appears to go fine, but the
merged emails seem to go off into the blue beyond instead
of to my Outlook Outbox as usual.

Any idea what is going on or how I can fix it? I need to
send these out! Thanks!

Hi Bailey,

I'm not an expert on email merges, but from my limited
experience, this will happen when Outlook doesn't recognize
the "To" addresses as being valid.
