Hello,
I have been trying to change the email address that my mail merge is sent
from. Is this possible to do in Word 2002? I've had two email accounts set
up in my outlook, which is also from office 2002, one is for business and the
other is for fun but eveytime I send out an electronic mail merge, it is
being sent from my fun account instead of my business. Is there any way to
change the email address that Word sends electronic mail merge's from?
 
If you open Outlook and go to Tools, Email Accounts and select Change
Accounts, you can make the 'fun' account the Default account and then the
mailmerge will send to that account. Just remember to change the default
when finished!

Thank you for the info and it definatly would have worked but the way the
email was set up, it was set up through a microsoft exchange server and when
i go to email accounts, and then change existing, the only thing listed there
is Microsoft Exchange Server. Somehow, both of my email accounts were linked
up as one?
 
There must be a way to do it. Unfortunately, I'm at home now until Tuesday,
so I can't check this until then (being not too geeky, I don't have Exchange
server at home - yet!).
