Hi, Venkat:
Thank you for your reply.
I followed the instruction, but at the last step 6, it has the only option
to print the merged email. There is no such thing like "send mergeed emails
now".
If I chose from File->Send to receipt, it only opens a Outlook Express email
window to let me send email individually not automaticall. This is not what
I wanted.
BTW, When I inserted the field <<Email>>, they are actually displayed as
[email protected]#http://[email protected]#

Any further information to help sending email? or Fax?

Thanks!

When you execute the mailmerge, there is an option to select the destination
and you can select various destinations such as "New Document", "Printer",
"Email", etc. If you select "Email", a dialog box will then open displaying
the list of fields in the datasource so that you can select the field that
contains the email addresses. When you do that and click OK, the document
will be send to each recipient in the data source.

Hi, Doug:
I cannot find where to "select the destination". On the merge toolbar, there
is a button called merge to e-mail. But it is disabled. I don't know where
to activated it.
Do you have the answer?
Thanks!

Is it a mail merge main document and does it have a datasource attached to
it?

Click to expand...
Yes, it is and I set an access database to merge with the document.
I think a possible reason is my computer did not setup an MAPI to do so. I
have Outlook Express on this computer, but have no idea how to setup MAPI or
something else to do so.

George
 
Following is the message I got from Word help:
But I did not find "Under Select document type, click E-mail messages. "
Only 4 types let me chose:
letters, directories, envelops, and labels.
Outlook is also install on this computer, but when I open it, an error
message say:"library not registered".
I don't know what this mean. Could you or anyone help?
Thanks!

Create and distribute merged e-mail messages
You can use the Mail Merge Wizard to create a group e-mail distribution.

Note Your system must include a MAPI-compatible e-mail program, such as
Microsoft Outlook.

1.. On the Tools menu, point to Letters and Mailings, and then click Mail
Merge Wizard.
2.. Under Select document type, click E-mail messages.
The active document becomes the main document, where you will type the
body of your e-mail message.

3.. Click Next: Starting document.
