Email Merge

[spfeltman]

I am trying to create an email merge so that I can send out a personalized
email to each person in my contact list in a separate email. I'm pretty sure
this was available in prior versions of Outlook but I cannot find it in 2007.

Same place as every other version: Contacts Folder > Tools > Mail Merge...

 

[Roady [MVP]]

Same location; Contacts folder-> Tools-> Mail Merge

OK, so I'm feeling a bit stupid now. I actually figured it out soon after I
posted my question. Now I have a different one. The mail merge is created
directly in Word. If I create the merge, do I have the same ability to edit
each email before actually sending them, like I would in a normal mail merged
letter? And if so, what is the process of emailing the letters after I've
edited them?

 

[spfeltman]

Oh yeah, I forgot.

Thanks for the help and quick reponses.

The process is the same whether the merge is started in Outlook or Word.

But once I've chosen to edit all individual letters, how do I then send them
as an emailed document? If I go back to the mail merge option on the
toolbar, there are no available options to send them.

The process is the same whether the merge is started in Outlook or Word.

State the steps you are using and where you are getting hung up. All
necessary commands are in the Ribbon. You are probably asking a Word
question here.
