Email merge from Word 2003

[Guest]

Hello,

I am attempting to do an email merge from Word 2003 - all is fine until I
actually get to sending the email then Outlook 2003 wants to confirm that
each and every email I want to send (1000+) and I have to click to confirm I
want to send the mail. This in effect makes the email merge unusable as it
takes such a long time to confirm that 'yes' I do want to send each email.

Is there a way to turn this 'feature' off?

TIA

Matthew

Did you start in Outlook? ie select the COntacts in Outlook, Tools |
Mailmerge | merge to email, type the subject and hit OK. Then Word fires up
and you use Insert Merge Fields and lastly Merge to email.
