Using a spread sheet for e-mail addresses

L

Len Urban

I have a large number of e-mail addresses in a spread sheet column. Is there
a way to copy the e-mail addresses into the To box (bcc) of an outgoing
e-mail without first installing them in my contacts folder?

Thanks,

Len Urban

Save the column as a text file, open the file in Word or your favorite text
editor, replace all the line endings with semicolons, and paste it all into
the BCC field.

Simply perform a mail merge and specify your datasheet as the source for addressing.

OK Milly

I'm one of the slow students. Furious head scratching was of no avail.

I go to send an e-mail. Check Bcc, select tools, then letters and mailings
the mail merge is not highlighted as an option??
