Word Merge to Email by Outlook

I have no trouble merging a WORD document with an Excel Data Source to
produce (say) 500 customized email messages, and having them sent by
the associated Office email program - on the MAC, that is.

On my Windows XP system, however, merging a message to Outlook, I am
stymied by a message that comes from Outlook, once for each outgoing
message: I have to click OK to allowing a program to send email!

Can anyone tell me how to turn off this message? I understand the
reason for it - to prevent viruses or worms from using my Outlook
address book to send email in a rogue manner. But this is making my
normal application far too tedious. And it doesn't happen on MAC OS
X, where WORD and Entourage works together so well.
 
If you have Outlook 2002 SP2 or later, choose HTML format for the merge and
you'll see no security prompt.
