Can I Avoid 700 Clicks?

I need to send a merged Word document to 700+ students. I have their email
addresses in my Outlook Contacts list. Everything works well until I start
the merge, when Outlook (I think) flashed a dialog that a virus may be taking
control of my machine and asks me to verify the messages authenticity by
clicking [OK]. The trouble is, it demands this validation on every message!
Can I make Outlook accept one OK for the whole merge?
 
The answer depends on your Office version, which you didn't mention.

Do you have Adobe Acrobat installed? That's the most likely cause. See

Sue, I am in Win 2000 and appear to be using version 9.0.6926 SP-3. Hope you
can help. I just looked at my new data table, and it isn't 700; it's 900+!
 
The Windows version isn't relevant, only the Office version, which indicates that you're using Office 2000. In that case, you might consider using one of the utilities listed at http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm that intercept the prompt.

Alternatively, there are mass mail tools at http://www.slipstick.com/addins/mail.htm#massmail that can work with your data and avoid the security prompts.
