Email Merge

[Guest]

Hello,
I have created a mail list in Excel 2002, and would like to use Microsoft
Outlook 2002 to send a email merge. I can successfully connect to my list
and preview everything but I cannot send a html email with pictures and
tables. I cn send a plain text document or have my document as an
attachement but not directly in an html email. Is there something that I am
missing?

Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

Your claim contradicts reality. Mail merges cannot be used with attachments
in any version of Outlook. In Outlook 2002 mail merges with plain text
cannot be done without triggering a security prompt. Mail merges with HTML
succeed. Tell us how and why yours doesn't and clarify the discrepancies in
your post.

Step 1: Create Email list in Excel
Step 2: Create Email Mail merge document
Step 3: press email merge
Step 4: TO: is set to the email column in my list, Subject line is filled
in, Format is HTML, all records, I hit the go button and nothing happens. If
I change it to Atachement then it attaches my email main document to the
email and succseffully goes, I do how ever get promted with the security
window for every email that it sends.

I would like to create a merged email and have the emails go out to each
individual, but not as an attachement.

Not sure what I am doing wrong?

Someone with a version that old will have to try to repro. Outlook 2002 is
long out of support and I haven't used it for years. HTML merges worked fine
for me and everyone else. Might be something with how you are embedding your
graphics.
