hello Jocelyn, it's me ones again.
I reinstalled office. now I have word and outlook, both 2002 sp3.
still, when I pass throu the stages of the merge wizard, everything looks
fine, but again nothing happens at the end.
I don't know if there is a connection but when I try to choose: file>send
to>mail recipient,
I get the message: "word could not load the e-mail envelope. this could be
caused by a network connection problem or a problem with office installation".
(on the other hand file>send to>mail recipient (as attachment),
works ok)
I tried to run a "repair" for office, but it didn't help
and another problem:
Since the reinstallation of outlook, I lost all my inbox, adress book, mail
acounts deffinitions etc. is there a way to retrieve them ?
Regards, Amir
