I'm helping my church to implement mass e-mails, to save on postage fees for
mass mailings. We recently tested the e-mail merge using Word for the merge, Access dbase for the data source (field in table for e-mails) and Outlook for the e-mail tool. However, it only proved successful in e-mailing those addresses that were already in the Outlook contacts folder. It ignored the e-mail addresses that were to be included, but were not in the Outlook contacts already. Is there a way to use the mail merge features of Office to do a mass e-mail without having to add those other e-mail addresses to the Outlook contacts folder? We're talking about a few hundred e-mails, once we actually implement this. And is there a limit to the number of e-mail contacts that can be sent at one time? I've seen other postings of 256 and 500 - not sure if they relate to what we're trying to do. Thanks! |

I would suggest posting a better and more complete description of the steps
you are using to Word's mail merge group. All mail merges are performed by Word. It makes no sense that your merge would use Outlook Contacts if you selected Access as your data source for the merge. Clearly you have not selected your data source correctly, but we really have no idea what you did. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Emily" wrote in message ...
