Add a Microsoft Word letter to all Outlook contacts

[Guest]

How can I add a saved Microsoft Word letter to all my Outlook contacts? I
could open each contact and save it but would take too long.

Please help. Thanks.

Ok. I have a Microsoft Word document. I would like to attach that document
to all my contacts in Micrsoft Outlook. How can I do this?

I know I could open Microsoft Outlook and open each contact and add a
journal entry for each, but I have too many contacts.

Please help.

What would the purpose of that be?

Russ, you are not making sense to me. I can not explain in anymore detail to
you. Sorry. I will just do this the long way by going into each Outlook
contact and making a journal entry and attaching the WORD document I want.
Thank you anyway to all that have read my post. If there is anyone ELSE who
can help me for future WORD document, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Create a journal entry that contains a link to the particular Word document or the document itself as an attachment. At the bottom of the entry, click the Contacts button and select the contacts you want to associate with that journal entry. If Outlook objects to having so many linked contacts, make as many copies of the item as you need to link all the contacts, so many for each item.

Thank You Sue, Thank You! I tried this and it works great! This really
saves me from having to go into each contact for my mass mailings. I really
appreciate you taking the time to answer my question and for understanding
it. Thank You!

None of us can understand what it is you are trying to do. Can you explain
the purpose of "attaching a Word document to a Contact?" There may be
another way to do what you want if we knew what that was.

Good on you for finally mentioning that this requirement is for "mass
mailings" Now we can surmise that want you want is a record of what you
emailed (possibly by merging) to a large number of people. You made this
hard for those trying to help you!

I wasn't trying to make it hard for everyone. I didn't know what the process
was called, I just knew there had to be an easier way then how I was doing it
before. I didn't know what I was trying to do was called 'mass mailings'
until I finally found something said in my outlook help. My 'mass mailings'
consists of 20 contacts. Thank you again for all the help and quick
responses!

YES it does. It means you then open the document and that contact as a
pointer to that file that you can open. And he want to do it for all the
contacts. Makes good since.

For example. I write a spec on a job. I want 50 of the contacts who are on
tehat job to list that document. This way when I open up that contact you
see that document and can open it. This is a feature of simple products like
ACT! and Goldmine.

Support is rather mentally slow here not understanding how a simple CRM like
Outlook should function.

Excellent Sue - someone who know their product.

Create a journal entry that contains a link to the particular Word document or the document itself as an attachment. At the bottom of the entry, click the Contacts button and select the contacts you want to associate with that journal entry.

Wrong - email is not mailing no matter what MS thinks. This was not for
emailing but likning a file on hte HD to each client.

Judy you need more work with understanding your product and how it works in
the real world.

Support is rather mentally slow here not understanding how a simple
CRM like Outlook should function.

First, this isn't "Outlook support". Second, Outlook is not a CRM. Perhaps
it is not we who lack understanding.

The previous post is from womeone isted as a MVP OUTLOOK and I was told by MS
support that this would be a MS employee. So that is the direction of my
response - to gather a response to MS. So far when somehting does not work,
is removed, or just badly done MS has an excuse or ususally no response and
poor support. I was hoping for a response as to a legitimate reason (as
there might be a good reason for the design) or an "OK we goofed good Idea
for next product." As a user we never know Whether MS supports their
products as their new products demonstrate they do not have a clue to the
real world and prove they think a prettier interface is more important than
substance.

MVPs are NOT Microsoft employees.

Sorry - when I purchased support from MS and was sent to an employee in India
and he searched this site to give me support and could not answer the
question as I had already looked at this site. He told teh (the MS employee)
that the MVP was an MS employee. Sorry for the misdirected anger

As a matter of fact, if any MVP subsequently becomes an employee of Microsoft, the MVP award is withdrawn as it is a conflict of interest. See http://mvp.support..microsoft.com for information about the MVP program.
